The Fair Share Report

52 E Main St

Mendham, NJ 07945

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

≈ $795,031

Likely range $745,081 – $949,848, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $795,031 home should be assessed near $570,912.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$443,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $127,612 below what the ratio math suggests (22.4%).

$2.526 per $100 assessed

$1.661 Schools · 66% $0.302 County · 12% $0.563 Town · 22%
