The Fair Share Report

16 The Loop

Ringwood, NJ 07456

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

≈ $552,933

Likely range $430,103 – $616,743, from 12 comparable Ringwood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

57.24%

The state's official measure of how far Ringwood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $552,933 home should be assessed near $316,499.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$285,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,299 below what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).

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

$4.259 per $100 assessed

$2.546 Schools · 60% $0.780 County · 18% $0.933 Town · 22%
