The Fair Share Report

71 Patrick Ave

Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $1,076,915

Likely range $910,997 – $1,161,093, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,076,915 home should be assessed near $715,933.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$660,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $55,933 below what the ratio math suggests (7.8%).

$3.419 per $100 assessed

$2.044 Schools · 60% $0.329 County · 10% $1.046 Town · 31%
