The Fair Share Report

6 Henry Rd

Upper, NJ 08226

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

≈ $718,158

Likely range $665,769 – $808,101, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $718,158 home should be assessed near $406,837.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$562,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $155,463 above what the ratio math suggests (38.2%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$13,585/yr
Public schools$9,727
Cape May County$1,953
Town of Upper$1,905
Upper average$6,686

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (65.15%) — roughly $3,580/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
