The Fair Share Report

6 Harvard St

Summit, NJ 07901

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

≈ $1,317,779

Likely range $1,122,155 – $1,553,420, from 12 comparable Summit sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

30.81%

The state's official measure of how far Summit assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,317,779 home should be assessed near $406,008.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$287,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $118,408 below what the ratio math suggests (29.2%).

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

$4.470 per $100 assessed

$2.335 Schools · 52% $1.092 County · 24% $1.043 Town · 23%

Summit also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $4.654 per $100 all-in (+$0.184).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,859/yr
Public schools$6,717
Union County$3,141
Town of Summit$3,000
Summit average$19,697
