The Fair Share Report

48 Guy St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $715,066

Likely range $565,584 – $772,234, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $715,066 home should be assessed near $438,908.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$345,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $93,108 below what the ratio math suggests (21.2%).

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

$3.489 per $100 assessed

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%

This home's own bill implies $3.418 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,818/yr
Public schools$5,081
Morris County$1,172
Town of Dover$5,565
Dover average$8,409

Paying about right

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