The Fair Share Report

7 Mitchell Dr

Jefferson, NJ 07438

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

≈ $339,231

Likely range $222,521 – $419,611, from 12 comparable Jefferson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.72%

The state's official measure of how far Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $339,231 home should be assessed near $236,512.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$205,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,212 below what the ratio math suggests (13.2%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$1.809 Schools · 60% $0.295 County · 10% $0.899 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $2.963 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$6,084/yr
Public schools$3,665
Morris County$598
Town of Jefferson$1,821
Jefferson average$9,952

Paying about right

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