The Fair Share Report

35 Hooks Ln

Edgewater, NJ 07020

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

≈ $720,746

Likely range $654,836 – $820,106, from 12 comparable Edgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.49%

The state's official measure of how far Edgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $720,746 home should be assessed near $644,996.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$872,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $227,204 above what the ratio math suggests (35.2%).

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

$1.645 per $100 assessed

$0.714 Schools · 43% $0.247 County · 15% $0.683 Town · 42%

This home's own bill implies $1.573 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,718/yr
Public schools$5,958
Bergen County$2,061
Town of Edgewater$5,699
Edgewater average$11,035

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $3,738/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
