The Fair Share Report

8 Cedar Ct

Clinton, NJ 08809

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

≈ $544,132

Likely range $515,868 – $582,322, from 12 comparable Clinton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.85%

The state's official measure of how far Clinton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $544,132 home should be assessed near $478,020.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$425,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $52,220 below what the ratio math suggests (10.9%).

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

$2.948 per $100 assessed

$1.757 Schools · 60% $0.385 County · 13% $0.806 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $2.795 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,901/yr
Public schools$7,093
Hunterdon County$1,554
Town of Clinton$3,254
Clinton average$12,962

Paying about right

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