The Fair Share Report

175 N Ave

Hillside, NJ 07205

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

≈ $592,270

Likely range $489,444 – $717,511, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $592,270 home should be assessed near $144,099.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$165,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $21,101 above what the ratio math suggests (14.6%).

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

$8.899 per $100 assessed

$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%

This home's own bill implies $8.748 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,451/yr
Public schools$5,598
Union County$2,285
Town of Hillside$6,568

Paying about right
