The Fair Share Report

39 Main St

Hampton, NJ 08827

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

≈ $270,000

Likely range $252,000 – $320,000, from 5 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

67.80%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $270,000 home should be assessed near $183,060.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$319,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $136,340 above what the ratio math suggests (74.5%).

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

$4.015 per $100 assessed

$2.762 Schools · 69% $0.424 County · 11% $0.829 Town · 21%
