The Fair Share Report

5 Post Rd

Rumson, NJ 07760

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

≈ $3,457,890

Likely range $2,823,932 – $4,213,466, from 12 comparable Rumson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.70%

The state's official measure of how far Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,457,890 home should be assessed near $3,343,780.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$4,222,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $878,220 above what the ratio math suggests (26.3%).

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

$1.049 per $100 assessed

$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $0.921 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$38,873/yr
Public schools$22,012
Monmouth County$7,782
Town of Rumson$9,079
Rumson average$23,692

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $9,213/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
