The Fair Share Report

39 Spring Ln

Washington, NJ 07853

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

≈ $813,606

Likely range $739,611 – $899,709, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

68.81%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $813,606 home should be assessed near $559,842.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$472,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,342 below what the ratio math suggests (15.6%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$2.143 Schools · 71% $0.320 County · 11% $0.541 Town · 18%

This home's own bill implies $2.950 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,939/yr
Public schools$9,944
Morris County$1,485
Town of Washington$2,510
Washington average$13,292
