The Fair Share Report

5 Ridge Rd

Stanhope, NJ 08088

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

≈ $276,748

Likely range $258,845 – $294,899, from 12 comparable Stanhope sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.34%

The state's official measure of how far Stanhope assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $276,748 home should be assessed near $153,152.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$315,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $162,648 above what the ratio math suggests (106.2%).

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

$4.659 per $100 assessed

$2.600 Schools · 56% $0.686 County · 15% $1.373 Town · 29%

This home's own bill implies $1.985 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$6,268/yr
Public schools$3,498
Sussex County$923
