The Fair Share Report

22 Cedar St

Hillside, NJ 07205

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

≈ $525,379

Likely range $461,671 – $626,985, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $525,379 home should be assessed near $127,825.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$134,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $6,275 above what the ratio math suggests (4.9%).

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

$8.899 per $100 assessed

$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%

This home's own bill implies $8.713 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,684/yr
Public schools$4,526
Union County$1,847
Town of Hillside$5,310

Paying about right

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