The Fair Share Report

6 Staples Ct

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $456,099

Likely range $275,591 – $507,734, 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 $456,099 home should be assessed near $258,380.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$265,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $7,020 above what the ratio math suggests (2.7%).

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

$6,412/yr
Public schools$4,591
Cape May County$922

Paying about right

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