The Fair Share Report

93 Cross Rd

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $1,111,515

Likely range $1,068,272 – $1,254,845, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,111,515 home should be assessed near $1,057,273.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,233,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $176,427 above what the ratio math suggests (16.7%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.607 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$12,857
Somerset County$3,617

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Bernards, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
