The Fair Share Report
299 County Rd
Cresskill, NJ 07626
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $709,006 – $858,168, from 12 comparable Cresskill sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Cresskill assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $796,426 home should be assessed near $627,982.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $98,282 below what the ratio math suggests (15.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Cresskill home
$1.256 Schools · 55% $0.262 County · 12% $0.750 Town · 33%
This home's own bill implies $1.940 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
