The Fair Share Report

710 Pershing Ave

Middlesex, NJ 08837

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

≈ $320,334

Likely range $213,287 – $362,586, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $320,334 home should be assessed near $312,390.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$292,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $19,790 below what the ratio math suggests (6.3%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $1.982 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,798/yr
Public schools$3,110
Middlesex County$930
Town of Middlesex$1,759

Paying about right

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