The Fair Share Report

174 Paramus Rd

Paramus, NJ 08889

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

≈ $987,651

Likely range $936,146 – $1,066,362, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,365 sq ft.

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 $987,651 home should be assessed near $921,478.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,025,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $103,522 above what the ratio math suggests (11.2%).

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 $1.420 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
