The Fair Share Report

29 Oak St

E Rutherford, NJ 07073

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

≈ $829,291

Likely range $805,991 – $892,387, from 12 comparable East Rutherford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,287 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

102.14%

The state's official measure of how far East Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $829,291 home should be assessed near $847,038.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$676,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $170,738 below what the ratio math suggests (20.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every East Rutherford home

$1.608 per $100 assessed

$0.926 Schools · 58% $0.236 County · 15% $0.446 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $1.523 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
