The Fair Share Report

75 Flintlock Ct

Bernards, NJ 07920

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

A touch high — but not appeal-worthy

Above most of Bernards, but below NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%), where a case becomes winnable.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $910,448

Likely range $723,553 – $962,796, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $910,448 home should be assessed near $866,018.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$962,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $96,482 above what the ratio math suggests (11.1%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.559 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
