The Fair Share Report

58 Keep St

Madison, NJ 07940

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

≈ $854,000

Likely range $777,583 – $1,214,208, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $854,000 home should be assessed near $514,279.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$585,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $70,721 above what the ratio math suggests (13.8%).

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

$2.254 per $100 assessed

$1.423 Schools · 63% $0.350 County · 16% $0.481 Town · 21%

Step 5 · The bill

$13,186/yr
