The Fair Share Report

206 Eastern Way

Rutherford, NJ 07070

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

≈ $481,326

Likely range $386,627 – $626,727, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,089 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.39%

The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $481,326 home should be assessed near $319,552.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$425,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $105,848 above what the ratio math suggests (33.1%).

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

$3.199 per $100 assessed

$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%

This home's own bill implies $3.081 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,107/yr
Public schools$7,746
Bergen County$1,316
Town of Rutherford$4,045
Rutherford average$14,060

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Rutherford, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (76.35%).
