The Fair Share Report

38 Mountain Rd

Hampton, NJ 08406

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

≈ $290,980

Likely range $263,988 – $408,867, from 12 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.94%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $290,980 home should be assessed near $154,045.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$185,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,855 above what the ratio math suggests (20.7%).

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

$3.494 per $100 assessed

$2.229 Schools · 64% $0.704 County · 20% $0.561 Town · 16%
