The Fair Share Report

337 E Ruby Ave

Palisades Park, NJ 07650

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

≈ $724,789

Likely range $618,512 – $805,859, from 12 comparable Palisades Park sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.69%

The state's official measure of how far Palisades Park assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $724,789 home should be assessed near $635,567.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$835,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $200,033 above what the ratio math suggests (31.5%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Palisades Park home

$1.463 per $100 assessed

$0.663 Schools · 45% $0.245 County · 17% $0.555 Town · 38%

This home's own bill implies $1.372 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,464/yr
Public schools$5,195
Bergen County$1,920
Town of Palisades Park$4,349
