The Fair Share Report
671 Mill Rd
Upper, NJ 08270
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.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $299,060 – $484,537, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $416,288 home should be assessed near $235,827.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,527 below what the ratio math suggests (38.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper home
$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
