The Fair Share Report

369 Beech St

Washington, NJ 07676

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

≈ $578,918

Likely range $522,919 – $708,984, from 12 comparable Washington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.37%

The state's official measure of how far Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $578,918 home should be assessed near $366,860.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$532,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $165,340 above what the ratio math suggests (45.1%).

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

$2.858 per $100 assessed

$1.780 Schools · 62% $0.343 County · 12% $0.735 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.918 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$10,209/yr
Public schools$6,359
Bergen County$1,225
Town of Washington$2,626
