The Fair Share Report

340 Ellen Pl

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $1,493,201

Likely range $1,197,355 – $1,753,412, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,493,201 home should be assessed near $1,393,157.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,703,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $310,743 above what the ratio math suggests (22.3%).

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

$1.499 per $100 assessed

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.465 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$11,806

Paying about right
