The Fair Share Report

67 Mt Rascal Rd

Independence, NJ 07840

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

≈ $454,160

Likely range $336,069 – $486,475, from 12 comparable Independence sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.23%

The state's official measure of how far Independence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $454,160 home should be assessed near $268,999.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$223,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,399 below what the ratio math suggests (16.9%).

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

$3.795 per $100 assessed

$2.295 Schools · 60% $0.873 County · 23% $0.627 Town · 17%
