Vernon, NJ 07461

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.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Vernon's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $593,832

Likely range $511,866 – $687,301, 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 $593,832 home should be assessed near $545,969.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$522,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,469 below what the ratio math suggests (4.3%).

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%
