The Fair Share Report

294 Devon St

Kearny, NJ 07032

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

≈ $788,121

Likely range $655,897 – $870,525, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

16.08%

The state's official measure of how far Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $788,121 home should be assessed near $126,730.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$140,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,070 above what the ratio math suggests (11.1%).

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

$10.847 per $100 assessed

$5.124 Schools · 47% $1.917 County · 18% $3.806 Town · 35%
