The Fair Share Report

702 S Bayview Dr

Upper, NJ 08035

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

≈ $895,106

Likely range $733,291 – $3,333,187, 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 $895,106 home should be assessed near $507,078.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,114,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $607,122 above what the ratio math suggests (119.7%).

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%

Paying about right
