The Fair Share Report

2 Willow Rd

Vernon, NJ 07428

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

≈ $319,458

Likely range $296,291 – $382,747, 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 $319,458 home should be assessed near $293,710.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$234,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,010 below what the ratio math suggests (20.1%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $2.132 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,004/yr
Public schools$2,919
Sussex County$935
Town of Vernon$1,150

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Vernon's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
