The Fair Share Report

22 Edwin Pl

Newark, NJ 07112

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

≈ $551,795

Likely range $452,969 – $688,667, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.69%

The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $551,795 home should be assessed near $224,525.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$210,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,525 below what the ratio math suggests (6.5%).

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

$3.999 per $100 assessed

$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%

Step 5 · The bill

$9,030/yr
Public schools$2,624

Town of Newark$5,234

Paying about right

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