The Fair Share Report

104 Eastern Way

Rutherford, NJ 07070

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

≈ $749,293

Likely range $563,427 – $893,272, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.39%

The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $749,293 home should be assessed near $497,456.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$450,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $46,656 below what the ratio math suggests (9.4%).

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

$3.199 per $100 assessed

$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%
