The Fair Share Report

5 Forest Dr

Hampton, NJ 07860

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

≈ $624,600

Likely range $619,121 – $702,051, from 12 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,738 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.94%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $624,600 home should be assessed near $330,663.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$303,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,063 below what the ratio math suggests (8.2%).

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

$3.494 per $100 assessed

$2.229 Schools · 64% $0.704 County · 20% $0.561 Town · 16%

This home's own bill implies $3.413 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,361/yr
Public schools$6,610
Sussex County$2,088
Town of Hampton$1,664
