The Fair Share Report

306 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

≈ $519,283

Likely range $453,100 – $568,253, 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 $519,283 home should be assessed near $83,501.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$67,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $16,401 below what the ratio math suggests (19.6%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $10.475 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,029/yr
Public schools$3,320
Hudson County$1,242
Town of Kearny$2,466
Kearny average$10,749

Paying about right
