The Fair Share Report
107 Maple St
Rutherford, NJ 07070
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Rutherford's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $538,072 – $699,572, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $660,568 home should be assessed near $438,551.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $8,551 below what the ratio math suggests (1.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Rutherford home
$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%
This home's own bill implies $3.142 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Rutherford sale · assessed ÷ market
