The Fair Share Report

600 E Main Ave

Middle, NJ 08242

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

≈ $348,878

Likely range $290,405 – $423,165, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $348,878 home should be assessed near $223,596.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$134,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $89,396 below what the ratio math suggests (40.0%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$2,979/yr
Public schools$1,646

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Middle pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
