The Fair Share Report

36 Maple Rd

Ringwood, NJ 07456

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Ringwood's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $508,696

Likely range $469,272 – $577,793, from 12 comparable Ringwood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

57.24%

The state's official measure of how far Ringwood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $508,696 home should be assessed near $291,178.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$257,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $34,178 below what the ratio math suggests (11.7%).

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

$4.259 per $100 assessed

$2.546 Schools · 60% $0.780 County · 18% $0.933 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $4.162 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
