The Fair Share Report

6 Pine Ct

Bethlehem, NJ 08804

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

≈ $759,871

Likely range $600,066 – $876,213, from 12 comparable Bethlehem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

107.41%

The state's official measure of how far Bethlehem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $759,871 home should be assessed near $816,177.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$720,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,677 below what the ratio math suggests (11.7%).

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

$2.020 per $100 assessed

$1.404 Schools · 69% $0.316 County · 16% $0.301 Town · 15%

This home's own bill implies $1.986 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,311/yr
Public schools$9,942
Hunterdon County$2,238
Town of Bethlehem$2,131
Bethlehem average$12,242

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Bethlehem's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
