The Fair Share Report

2 Johnson Ct

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $884,222

Likely range $847,645 – $992,040, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $884,222 home should be assessed near $824,979.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,063,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $238,921 above what the ratio math suggests (29.0%).

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 $1.408 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,977/yr
Public schools$7,084
Bergen County$2,408
Town of Paramus$5,485
Paramus average$13,058

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $3,581/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
