The Fair Share Report

2 Splitrock Ln

Vernon, NJ 07461

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

≈ $258,380

Likely range $233,156 – $294,708, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $258,380 home should be assessed near $237,555.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$321,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $83,445 above what the ratio math suggests (35.1%).

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

$2.345 per $100 assessed

$1.368 Schools · 58% $0.438 County · 19% $0.539 Town · 23%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,527/yr
Public schools$4,391

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 $1,957/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
