The Fair Share Report

151 Stuart St

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $2,227,724

Likely range $2,005,913 – $2,249,559, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,070 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,227,724 home should be assessed near $2,078,466.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,385,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $306,534 above what the ratio math suggests (14.7%).

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

$1.499 per $100 assessed

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.449 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$34,547/yr
Public schools$16,340
Bergen County$5,554
Town of Paramus$12,653

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
