The Fair Share Report

6 Stapleton Ct

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

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

≈ $852,951

Likely range $719,061 – $908,184, from 12 comparable Bridgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.72%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $852,951 home should be assessed near $739,679.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$707,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,379 below what the ratio math suggests (4.4%).

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

$1.901 per $100 assessed

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%

This home's own bill implies $1.826 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,917/yr
Public schools$8,788
Somerset County$2,472
Town of Bridgewater$1,657

Paying about right
