The Fair Share Report

51 Beech St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $453,302

Likely range $420,418 – $529,044, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $453,302 home should be assessed near $278,237.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$187,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,637 below what the ratio math suggests (32.6%).

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

$3.489 per $100 assessed

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%

Step 5 · The bill

$6,547/yr
Public schools$2,815
Morris County$649
Town of Dover$3,083

Paying about right
