The Fair Share Report

163 Forest Ave

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

≈ $900,407

Likely range $791,943 – $1,050,549, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $900,407 home should be assessed near $840,080.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$802,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $37,180 below what the ratio math suggests (4.4%).

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 $1.410 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,319/yr
Public schools$5,354
Bergen County$1,820
Town of Paramus$4,145

Paying about right
