The Fair Share Report

12 E Gate

Clifton, NJ 07013

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

≈ $970,825

Likely range $851,300 – $982,921, from 12 comparable Clifton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

31.87%

The state's official measure of how far Clifton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $970,825 home should be assessed near $309,402.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$295,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,302 below what the ratio math suggests (4.6%).

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

$6.128 per $100 assessed

$2.947 Schools · 48% $1.344 County · 22% $1.837 Town · 30%
