The Fair Share Report

239 Prospect

Dumont, NJ 07628

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

≈ $718,724

Likely range $657,443 – $755,287, from 12 comparable Dumont sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.31%

The state's official measure of how far Dumont assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $718,724 home should be assessed near $685,016.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$574,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $110,616 below what the ratio math suggests (16.1%).

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

$2.340 per $100 assessed

$1.304 Schools · 56% $0.233 County · 10% $0.803 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $2.134 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,255/yr
Public schools$6,829
Bergen County$1,220
Town of Dumont$4,205
