The Fair Share Report

7 E Waterloo Rd

Byram, NJ 07874

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

≈ $421,531

Likely range $316,734 – $463,924, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $421,531 home should be assessed near $244,994.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$183,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $61,394 below what the ratio math suggests (25.1%).

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

$4.018 per $100 assessed

$2.312 Schools · 58% $0.673 County · 17% $1.033 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $3.883 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,129/yr
Public schools$4,102
Sussex County$1,194
Town of Byram$1,833
Byram average$10,398

Paying about right
