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

≈ $416,288

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

56.65%

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

$145,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,527 below what the ratio math suggests (38.4%).
