The Fair Share Report

74 Rt 521

Hampton, NJ 07860

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

≈ $536,242

Likely range $494,483 – $573,516, from 12 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.94%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $536,242 home should be assessed near $283,887.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$259,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,687 below what the ratio math suggests (8.7%).

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

$3.494 per $100 assessed

$2.229 Schools · 64% $0.704 County · 20% $0.561 Town · 16%

This home's own bill implies $3.399 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,809/yr
Public schools$5,620
Sussex County$1,775
Town of Hampton$1,414
Hampton average$8,187

Paying about right

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