The Fair Share Report

512 Cedar Ave

Middle, NJ 08094

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

≈ $304,837

Likely range $218,854 – $362,526, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $304,837 home should be assessed near $195,370.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$134,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $60,970 below what the ratio math suggests (31.2%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$2,984/yr
Public schools$1,648
Cape May County$443
Town of Middle$893

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Middle's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
