The Fair Share Report

2 Soder Rd

North Caldwell, NJ 07006

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

≈ $1,204,780

Likely range $1,100,037 – $1,427,535, from 12 comparable North Caldwell sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.25%

The state's official measure of how far North Caldwell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,204,780 home should be assessed near $858,406.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$787,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $70,806 below what the ratio math suggests (8.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every North Caldwell home

$2.307 per $100 assessed

$1.418 Schools · 61% $0.461 County · 20% $0.428 Town · 19%
