The Fair Share Report

93 Rt 50

Upper, NJ 08243

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

≈ $479,225

Likely range $377,489 – $586,824, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $479,225 home should be assessed near $271,481.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$172,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $99,181 below what the ratio math suggests (36.5%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$4,159/yr
Public schools$2,978
Cape May County$598
Town of Upper$583

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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