The Fair Share Report

16 Pine St E

Vernon, NJ 07422

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

≈ $347,083

Likely range $325,649 – $378,951, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $347,083 home should be assessed near $319,108.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$253,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $65,208 below what the ratio math suggests (20.4%).

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

$2.345 per $100 assessed

$1.368 Schools · 58% $0.438 County · 19% $0.539 Town · 23%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Vernon pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
