The Fair Share Report

272 E Madison

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

≈ $743,997

Likely range $689,313 – $809,126, 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 $743,997 home should be assessed near $709,104.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$584,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $124,404 below what the ratio math suggests (17.5%).

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 $2.186 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$7,124

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Dumont pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
