Sparta, NJ 07871

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

≈ $723,531

Likely range $502,026 – $920,352, from 12 comparable Sparta sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.82%

The state's official measure of how far Sparta assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $723,531 home should be assessed near $432,816.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$317,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $115,216 below what the ratio math suggests (26.6%).

$3.667 per $100 assessed

$2.362 Schools · 64% $0.624 County · 17% $0.681 Town · 19%
