The Fair Share Report

6 Meadowview La

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $631,855

Likely range $476,485 – $729,788, 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 $631,855 home should be assessed near $357,946.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$509,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $151,654 above what the ratio math suggests (42.4%).

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
