The Fair Share Report

460 Rt 49

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $481,132

Likely range $431,214 – $528,408, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $481,132 home should be assessed near $272,561.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$257,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $15,461 below what the ratio math suggests (5.7%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$6,379/yr
Public schools$4,567
Cape May County$917
Town of Upper$895
Upper average$6,686

Paying about right

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