The Fair Share Report

435 Second St

Middlesex, NJ 08846

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

≈ $406,803

Likely range $315,852 – $481,481, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,040 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $406,803 home should be assessed near $396,714.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$393,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,214 below what the ratio math suggests (0.8%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $1.864 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,333/yr
Public schools$3,933
Middlesex County$1,176
Town of Middlesex$2,224

Paying about right
