The Fair Share Report

72 Pine St

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

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

≈ $445,092

Likely range $264,095 – $532,469, from 12 comparable Bridgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.72%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $445,092 home should be assessed near $385,984.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$306,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $79,784 below what the ratio math suggests (20.7%).

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

$1.901 per $100 assessed

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%

This home's own bill implies $1.731 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,301/yr
Public schools$3,607
Somerset County$1,015
Town of Bridgewater$680

Paying about right

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