The Fair Share Report

114 County Rd

Demarest, NJ 07627

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

≈ $1,375,291

Likely range $1,283,097 – $1,997,616, from 12 comparable Demarest sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

101.41%

The state's official measure of how far Demarest assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,375,291 home should be assessed near $1,394,683.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,212,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $182,583 below what the ratio math suggests (13.1%).

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

$1.805 per $100 assessed

$1.149 Schools · 64% $0.219 County · 12% $0.438 Town · 24%
