The Fair Share Report

152 Hackett Pl

Rutherford, NJ 07070

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

≈ $809,330

Likely range $546,896 – $854,186, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.39%

The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $809,330 home should be assessed near $537,314.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$486,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $51,114 below what the ratio math suggests (9.5%).

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

$3.199 per $100 assessed

$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%

This home's own bill implies $3.149 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$15,308/yr
Public schools$9,047
Bergen County$1,537
Town of Rutherford$4,725
Rutherford average$14,060

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Rutherford's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
