The Fair Share Report

7 Delaware Dr

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $136,359

Likely range $102,059 – $215,888, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,388 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $136,359 home should be assessed near $67,934.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$85,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,666 above what the ratio math suggests (26.0%).

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

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%

This home's own bill implies $8.336 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,136/yr
Public schools$1,900
Salem County$1,673
Town of Salem$3,563
