The Fair Share Report

63 Rt 50

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $259,459

Likely range $223,056 – $282,650, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 768 sq ft.

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 $259,459 home should be assessed near $146,984.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$187,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,116 above what the ratio math suggests (27.3%).

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

$4,517/yr
