The Fair Share Report

6 Compton Ct

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $920,920

Likely range $823,155 – $1,067,893, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $920,920 home should be assessed near $875,979.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$948,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,621 above what the ratio math suggests (8.3%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.582 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$15,005/yr
Public schools$9,733
Somerset County$2,738
Town of Bernards$2,533
