The Fair Share Report

37 Second Ave

Hawthorne, NJ 08050

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

≈ $687,491

Likely range $613,855 – $756,312, from 12 comparable Hawthorne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.15%

The state's official measure of how far Hawthorne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $687,491 home should be assessed near $475,400.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$398,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,300 below what the ratio math suggests (16.3%).

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

$3.144 per $100 assessed

$1.746 Schools · 56% $0.654 County · 21% $0.744 Town · 24%
