The Fair Share Report

72 E Main St

Mendham, NJ 07945

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

≈ $717,605

Likely range $667,207 – $861,589, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,621 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $717,605 home should be assessed near $515,312.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$385,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $129,612 below what the ratio math suggests (25.2%).

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

$2.526 per $100 assessed

$1.661 Schools · 66% $0.302 County · 12% $0.563 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $2.461 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

$9,493/yr
Public schools$6,242
