The Fair Share Report

593 E Rd

Middletown, NJ 07748

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

≈ $646,692

Likely range $523,071 – $680,152, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $646,692 home should be assessed near $636,022.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$557,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $78,622 below what the ratio math suggests (12.4%).

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

$1.614 per $100 assessed

$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.447 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,067/yr
Public schools$4,948
Monmouth County$975
Town of Middletown$2,144

Paying about right
