The Fair Share Report

5 Acton Dr

Middle, NJ 08690

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

≈ $1,055,253

Likely range $879,275 – $2,084,971, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,055,253 home should be assessed near $676,312.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$761,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $85,288 above what the ratio math suggests (12.6%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
