The Fair Share Report

55 Rt 50

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $524,286

Likely range $486,767 – $635,465, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,242 sq ft.

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 $524,286 home should be assessed near $297,008.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$178,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $118,608 below what the ratio math suggests (39.9%).

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%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Upper pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
