The Fair Share Report

24 E Ruby Ave

Palisades Park, NJ 07650

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

≈ $829,827

Likely range $779,750 – $963,682, from 12 comparable Palisades Park sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.69%

The state's official measure of how far Palisades Park assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $829,827 home should be assessed near $727,675.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$989,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $261,325 above what the ratio math suggests (35.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Palisades Park home

$1.463 per $100 assessed

$0.663 Schools · 45% $0.245 County · 17% $0.555 Town · 38%

This home's own bill implies $1.366 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,512/yr
Public schools$6,123
Bergen County$2,263
Town of Palisades Park$5,126
