The Fair Share Report

68 Eugene Pl

Belleville, NJ 07109

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

≈ $497,185

Likely range $375,140 – $530,681, from 12 comparable Belleville sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.13%

The state's official measure of how far Belleville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $497,185 home should be assessed near $293,985.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$192,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $101,885 below what the ratio math suggests (34.7%).

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

$4.156 per $100 assessed

$1.652 Schools · 40% $0.541 County · 13% $1.963 Town · 47%
