The Fair Share Report

357 E 30th St

Paterson, NJ 07504

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

≈ $509,000

Likely range $425,000 – $650,000, from 12 comparable Paterson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

41.41%

The state's official measure of how far Paterson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $509,000 home should be assessed near $210,777.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$422,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $211,623 above what the ratio math suggests (100.4%).

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

$5.334 per $100 assessed

$1.307 Schools · 24% $1.048 County · 20% $2.980 Town · 56%

This home's own bill implies $1.912 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$8,078/yr
Public schools$1,979
Passaic County$1,587
Town of Paterson$4,512
Paterson average$10,356

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (47.62%) — roughly $11,288/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
