The Fair Share Report

85 Spring Ln

Washington, NJ 07840

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

≈ $1,078,956

Likely range $974,060 – $1,174,226, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

68.81%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,078,956 home should be assessed near $742,430.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$655,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $86,730 below what the ratio math suggests (11.7%).

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$2.143 Schools · 71% $0.320 County · 11% $0.541 Town · 18%
