The Fair Share Report

46 Summit Rd

Jefferson, NJ 07438

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

≈ $511,781

Likely range $490,306 – $562,066, from 12 comparable Jefferson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.72%

The state's official measure of how far Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $511,781 home should be assessed near $356,814.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$324,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,614 below what the ratio math suggests (9.1%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$1.809 Schools · 60% $0.295 County · 10% $0.899 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$10,063/yr
Public schools$6,062
