The Fair Share Report

87 E St

Montgomery, NJ 08502

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

≈ $539,306

Likely range $459,119 – $661,695, from 12 comparable Montgomery sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.24%

The state's official measure of how far Montgomery assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $539,306 home should be assessed near $303,306.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$421,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $118,494 above what the ratio math suggests (39.1%).

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

$3.437 per $100 assessed

$2.335 Schools · 68% $0.583 County · 17% $0.519 Town · 15%

Step 5 · The bill

$14,467/yr
Public schools$9,828
Somerset County$2,454
Town of Montgomery$2,185
Montgomery average$17,440

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Montgomery, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (64.68%).
