The Fair Share Report

3 Maple Rd

Vernon, NJ 07461

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

≈ $320,695

Likely range $244,647 – $354,713, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $320,695 home should be assessed near $294,847.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$214,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,047 below what the ratio math suggests (27.1%).

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

$2.345 per $100 assessed

$1.368 Schools · 58% $0.438 County · 19% $0.539 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $1.178 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$2,530/yr
Public schools$1,476
Sussex County$473
