The Fair Share Report

43 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 $150,000 – $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

$243,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $60,140 above what the ratio math suggests (32.9%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $3.913 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$9,517/yr
Public schools$6,547
Hunterdon County$1,005
Town of Hampton$1,965

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Hampton's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
