The Fair Share Report

7 Third St

Butler, NJ 07034

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

≈ $508,644

Likely range $438,598 – $564,072, from 12 comparable Butler sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.00%

The state's official measure of how far Butler assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $508,644 home should be assessed near $442,520.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$392,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $50,020 below what the ratio math suggests (11.3%).

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

$2.511 per $100 assessed

$1.555 Schools · 62% $0.252 County · 10% $0.704 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $2.415 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$9,479/yr
Public schools$5,870
Morris County$951
Town of Butler$2,658
Butler average$11,114

Paying about right
