The Fair Share Report

321 Downs St

Ridgewood, NJ 07450

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

≈ $1,433,808

Likely range $1,328,974 – $1,951,497, from 12 comparable Ridgewood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.52%

The state's official measure of how far Ridgewood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,433,808 home should be assessed near $867,741.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$795,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,641 below what the ratio math suggests (8.4%).

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

$2.889 per $100 assessed

$1.801 Schools · 62% $0.347 County · 12% $0.742 Town · 26%
