The Fair Share Report

2 Cedar Ct

Closter, NJ 07624

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

≈ $1,296,508

Likely range $1,050,529 – $1,435,377, from 12 comparable Closter sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.08%

The state's official measure of how far Closter assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,296,508 home should be assessed near $1,116,034.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,168,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $52,266 above what the ratio math suggests (4.7%).

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

$2.071 per $100 assessed

$1.285 Schools · 62% $0.239 County · 12% $0.547 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.882 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$13,644
Bergen County$2,538
