The Fair Share Report

258 Sinclair Pl

Westfield, NJ 07090

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

≈ $855,773

Likely range $705,102 – $1,041,209, 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 $855,773 home should be assessed near $620,264.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$741,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $121,536 above what the ratio math suggests (19.6%).

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

$17,002/yr
Public schools$10,593
Union County$3,375

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Westfield, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (83.35%).
