The Fair Share Report

9 Springbrook Ter

Byram, NJ 07871

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

≈ $332,951

Likely range $251,095 – $458,266, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $332,951 home should be assessed near $193,511.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$145,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $47,711 below what the ratio math suggests (24.7%).

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

$4.018 per $100 assessed

$2.312 Schools · 58% $0.673 County · 17% $1.033 Town · 26%
