The Fair Share Report

656 Mitchell Ln

Bridgewater, NJ 08836

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

≈ $822,582

Likely range $766,408 – $992,706, 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 $822,582 home should be assessed near $713,343.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$974,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $260,957 above what the ratio math suggests (36.6%).

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 $1.786 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$17,405/yr
Public schools$11,841
Somerset County$3,331
Town of Bridgewater$2,233

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Bridgewater, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (99.73%).
