The Fair Share Report

6 Third St

Butler, NJ 07405

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

≈ $693,353

Likely range $656,527 – $813,609, from 12 comparable Butler sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.00%

The state's official measure of how far Butler assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $693,353 home should be assessed near $603,217.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$630,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,483 above what the ratio math suggests (4.6%).

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

$2.511 per $100 assessed

$1.555 Schools · 62% $0.252 County · 10% $0.704 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $2.410 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$15,199/yr
Public schools$9,412
Morris County$1,525
Town of Butler$4,261
Butler average$11,114
