The Fair Share Report

7 Thicket St

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $639,560

Likely range $594,104 – $743,015, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $639,560 home should be assessed near $362,311.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$456,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $94,389 above what the ratio math suggests (26.1%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$11,025/yr
Public schools$7,894
Cape May County$1,585
Town of Upper$1,546

Paying about right

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