The Fair Share Report

481 E Commerce St

Bridgeton, NJ 08360

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

≈ $185,361

Likely range $136,350 – $265,889, from 12 comparable Bridgeton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.56%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgeton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $185,361 home should be assessed near $104,840.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$78,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $26,840 below what the ratio math suggests (25.6%).

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

$5.787 per $100 assessed

$0.745 Schools · 13% $1.434 County · 25% $3.608 Town · 62%
