The Fair Share Report

239 Sinclair Pl

Westfield, NJ 07091

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

≈ $1,075,510

Likely range $861,222 – $1,518,086, from 12 comparable Westfield sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

72.48%

The state's official measure of how far Westfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,075,510 home should be assessed near $779,530.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$917,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $137,870 above what the ratio math suggests (17.7%).

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

$2.291 per $100 assessed

$1.428 Schools · 62% $0.455 County · 20% $0.409 Town · 18%

Westfield also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $2.396 per $100 all-in (+$0.105).

Step 5 · The bill

$21,027/yr
Public schools$13,100
Union County$4,174
Town of Westfield$3,752

Paying about right

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