The Fair Share Report

75 Pine St

Newton, 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

≈ $400,904

Likely range $343,476 – $433,947, from 12 comparable Newton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.64%

The state's official measure of how far Newton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $400,904 home should be assessed near $359,370.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$350,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $8,570 below what the ratio math suggests (2.4%).

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

$2.662 per $100 assessed

$1.310 Schools · 49% $0.420 County · 16% $0.931 Town · 35%

This home's own bill implies $2.516 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,827/yr
Public schools$4,346
Sussex County$1,393
Town of Newton$3,088
Newton average$9,000

Paying about right

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