The Fair Share Report

36 E Munson Ave

Dover, NJ 07885

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

≈ $509,940

Likely range $452,183 – $561,935, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $509,940 home should be assessed near $313,001.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$243,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,801 below what the ratio math suggests (22.3%).

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

$3.489 per $100 assessed

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%

Step 5 · The bill

$8,488/yr
Public schools$3,649
Morris County$842
Town of Dover$3,997
Dover average$8,409

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Dover's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
