The Fair Share Report

51 Guy St

Dover, NJ 07869

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

≈ $516,925

Likely range $401,470 – $537,633, 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 $516,925 home should be assessed near $317,289.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$249,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $68,089 below what the ratio math suggests (21.5%).

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

$8,697/yr
Public schools$3,739
Morris County$862
Town of Dover$4,096

Paying about right
