The Fair Share Report

29 Buff Rd

Tenafly, NJ 07670

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

≈ $1,132,500

Likely range $913,495 – $1,460,352, from 12 comparable Tenafly sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.25%

The state's official measure of how far Tenafly assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,132,500 home should be assessed near $727,631.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$548,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $179,331 below what the ratio math suggests (24.6%).

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

$2.972 per $100 assessed

$1.924 Schools · 65% $0.332 County · 11% $0.716 Town · 24%
