The Fair Share Report

45 Deer Path

Millburn, NJ 07078

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

≈ $2,645,011

Likely range $2,144,903 – $3,109,098, from 12 comparable Millburn sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

70.02%

The state's official measure of how far Millburn assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,645,011 home should be assessed near $1,852,037.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,680,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $171,937 below what the ratio math suggests (9.3%).

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

$2.019 per $100 assessed

$1.033 Schools · 51% $0.453 County · 22% $0.532 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.750 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
