The Fair Share Report

133 Haddon Pl

Montclair, NJ 07043

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

≈ $1,567,589

Likely range $1,144,397 – $1,873,512, from 12 comparable Montclair sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.26%

The state's official measure of how far Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,567,589 home should be assessed near $881,926.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$812,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,926 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).

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

$3.516 per $100 assessed

$2.019 Schools · 57% $0.575 County · 16% $0.922 Town · 26%
