The Fair Share Report

412 Park Ave

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $417,074

Likely range $388,798 – $480,507, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,396 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $417,074 home should be assessed near $236,272.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$212,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,672 below what the ratio math suggests (10.0%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
