The Fair Share Report

7 Ruby 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

≈ $692,110

Likely range $635,745 – $772,422, 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 $692,110 home should be assessed near $482,539.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$445,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,939 below what the ratio math suggests (7.7%).

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%
