The Fair Share Report

45 Allison Rd

Alpine, NJ 07024

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

≈ $2,206,816

Likely range $1,242,500 – $2,249,429, from 6 comparable Alpine sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.24%

The state's official measure of how far Alpine assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,206,816 home should be assessed near $2,123,840.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,570,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $446,960 above what the ratio math suggests (21.0%).

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

$0.837 per $100 assessed

$0.382 Schools · 46% $0.246 County · 29% $0.209 Town · 25%

Step 5 · The bill

$21,518/yr
Public schools$9,820

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
