The Fair Share Report

7 Bruce Pl

Rumson, NJ 07760

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

≈ $1,038,997

Likely range $913,463 – $1,124,553, from 12 comparable Rumson sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,228 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.70%

The state's official measure of how far Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,038,997 home should be assessed near $1,004,710.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,405,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,400,990 above what the ratio math suggests (139.4%).

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

$1.049 per $100 assessed

$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $0.924 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$22,235/yr
Public schools$12,590
Monmouth County$4,451
Town of Rumson$5,193

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
