The Fair Share Report

9 Davis Ave

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $170,088

Likely range $119,430 – $263,168, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $170,088 home should be assessed near $84,738.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$47,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $37,538 below what the ratio math suggests (44.3%).

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

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%

Step 5 · The bill

$4,072/yr
Public schools$1,084
