The Fair Share Report

178 Farview Ave

Paramus, NJ 07662

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

≈ $559,390

Likely range $494,305 – $604,750, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 820 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 $559,390 home should be assessed near $521,911.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$649,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $127,889 above what the ratio math suggests (24.5%).

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 $1.378 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,954/yr
Public schools$4,235
Bergen County$1,439
Town of Paramus$3,279
Paramus average$13,058

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
