The Fair Share Report

368 E Rd

Middletown, NJ 07718

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

≈ $583,839

Likely range $505,996 – $747,156, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $583,839 home should be assessed near $574,206.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$626,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $52,394 above what the ratio math suggests (9.1%).

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

$1.614 per $100 assessed

$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.473 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$9,227/yr
Public schools$5,660
Monmouth County$1,115
Town of Middletown$2,453
