The Fair Share Report

548 Park Ave

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $440,379

Likely range $314,471 – $574,685, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $440,379 home should be assessed near $249,475.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$224,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $25,175 below what the ratio math suggests (10.1%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,419/yr
Public schools$3,880
Cape May County$779
Town of Upper$760
Upper average$6,686

Paying about right

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