The Fair Share Report

5 Raspberry Ln

Washington, NJ 07853

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

≈ $1,027,400

Likely range $914,996 – $1,177,089, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

68.81%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,027,400 home should be assessed near $706,954.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$581,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $125,454 below what the ratio math suggests (17.7%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$2.143 Schools · 71% $0.320 County · 11% $0.541 Town · 18%

Step 5 · The bill

$17,462/yr
Public schools$12,457
