The Fair Share Report

603 Maple Ave

Ewing, NJ 08618

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Ewing's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $427,253

Likely range $376,317 – $458,229, from 12 comparable Ewing sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.20%

The state's official measure of how far Ewing assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $427,253 home should be assessed near $270,024.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$216,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $53,524 below what the ratio math suggests (19.8%).

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

$4.051 per $100 assessed

$2.100 Schools · 52% $0.894 County · 22% $1.057 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $3.936 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
