The Fair Share Report

59 E Ave

Washington, NJ 07840

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

≈ $475,177

Likely range $386,582 – $604,297, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

68.81%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $475,177 home should be assessed near $326,969.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$203,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $123,169 below what the ratio math suggests (37.7%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$2.143 Schools · 71% $0.320 County · 11% $0.541 Town · 18%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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