The Fair Share Report

36 E 13th St

Avalon, NJ 08202

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $1,484,000

Likely range $1,165,197 – $2,636,014, from 12 comparable Avalon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.28%

The state's official measure of how far Avalon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,484,000 home should be assessed near $805,515.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,751,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $945,485 above what the ratio math suggests (117.4%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Avalon home

$0.607 per $100 assessed

$0.032 Schools · 5% $0.313 County · 52% $0.262 Town · 43%
