The Fair Share Report

163 Hackett Pl

Rutherford, NJ 07002

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

≈ $760,908

Likely range $686,902 – $802,873, 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 $760,908 home should be assessed near $505,167.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$467,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $38,067 below what the ratio math suggests (7.5%).

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%
