The Fair Share Report

369 E Broadway

Salem, NJ 08094

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

≈ $73,488

Likely range $42,665 – $146,749, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $73,488 home should be assessed near $36,612.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$19,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,512 below what the ratio math suggests (47.8%).

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

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%

Paying about right
