The Fair Share Report

9 Tower Ln

Morris, NJ 07960

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

≈ $1,550,000

Likely range $905,000 – $1,900,000, from 12 comparable Morris sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

72.98%

The state's official measure of how far Morris assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,550,000 home should be assessed near $1,131,190.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$278,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $853,090 below what the ratio math suggests (75.4%).

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

$1.968 per $100 assessed

$1.147 Schools · 58% $0.303 County · 15% $0.517 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $4.557 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$12,674/yr
Public schools$7,390
Morris County$1,952
Town of Morris$3,331

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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