The Fair Share Report

581 E Main St

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

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

≈ $669,843

Likely range $590,526 – $716,170, from 12 comparable Bridgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.72%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $669,843 home should be assessed near $580,888.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$503,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,388 below what the ratio math suggests (13.3%).

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

$1.901 per $100 assessed

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%

This home's own bill implies $1.760 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,863/yr
Public schools$6,030
Somerset County$1,696
Town of Bridgewater$1,137
