The Fair Share Report

75 Eastern Ave

Somerville, NJ 08876

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

≈ $500,000

Likely range $412,000 – $640,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.80%

The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $500,000 home should be assessed near $294,000.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$221,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,800 below what the ratio math suggests (24.8%).

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

$4.078 per $100 assessed

$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%

Step 5 · The bill
