The Fair Share Report

7 E Stuart St

Newton, NJ 07860

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

≈ $412,105

Likely range $395,900 – $424,416, from 12 comparable Newton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.64%

The state's official measure of how far Newton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $412,105 home should be assessed near $369,411.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$340,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,111 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).

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

$2.662 per $100 assessed

$1.310 Schools · 49% $0.420 County · 16% $0.931 Town · 35%

This home's own bill implies $2.515 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,558/yr
Public schools$4,213
Sussex County$1,351
Town of Newton$2,994

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Newton's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
