The Fair Share Report

243 Devon Rd

Washington, NJ 07676

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

≈ $700,530

Likely range $646,737 – $741,489, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,476 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.37%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $700,530 home should be assessed near $443,926.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$725,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $281,974 above what the ratio math suggests (63.5%).

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

$2.858 per $100 assessed

$1.780 Schools · 62% $0.343 County · 12% $0.735 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.685 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$12,228/yr
Public schools$7,616
Bergen County$1,468
Town of Washington$3,145
Washington average$13,477
