The Fair Share Report

723 Central Ave

Alpha, NJ 08865

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

≈ $314,878

Likely range $225,546 – $343,501, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.67%

The state's official measure of how far Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $314,878 home should be assessed near $200,483.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$149,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $50,683 below what the ratio math suggests (25.3%).

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

$3.484 per $100 assessed

$1.754 Schools · 50% $0.758 County · 22% $0.973 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $3.318 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$4,971/yr
Public schools$2,502
Warren County$1,081
Town of Alpha$1,388
Alpha average$6,415

Paying about right

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