The Fair Share Report

232 Forest Ave

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $1,440,510

Likely range $1,210,714 – $1,603,520, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,390 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,440,510 home should be assessed near $1,343,996.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$938,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $405,396 below what the ratio math suggests (30.2%).

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

$1.499 per $100 assessed

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.372 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$6,090

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Paramus pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
