The Fair Share Report

85 Rector St

Millburn, NJ 07041

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

≈ $1,359,585

Likely range $986,294 – $1,581,530, from 12 comparable Millburn sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

70.02%

The state's official measure of how far Millburn assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,359,585 home should be assessed near $951,981.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$505,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $446,981 below what the ratio math suggests (47.0%).

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

$2.019 per $100 assessed

$1.033 Schools · 51% $0.453 County · 22% $0.532 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.969 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$5,091

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Millburn pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
