The Fair Share Report

516 Walker Ave

Ewing, NJ 08628

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

≈ $428,355

Likely range $309,558 – $457,666, from 12 comparable Ewing sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.20%

The state's official measure of how far Ewing assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $428,355 home should be assessed near $270,720.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$227,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $43,020 below what the ratio math suggests (15.9%).

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

$4.051 per $100 assessed

$2.100 Schools · 52% $0.894 County · 22% $1.057 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $3.941 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,974/yr
Public schools$4,652
Mercer County$1,980
Town of Ewing$2,342
Ewing average$8,367

Paying about right

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