The Fair Share Report

39 Pershing Pl

Cresskill, NJ 07626

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

≈ $1,267,940

Likely range $1,111,823 – $1,396,624, from 12 comparable Cresskill sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

78.85%

The state's official measure of how far Cresskill assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,267,940 home should be assessed near $999,771.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$982,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,671 below what the ratio math suggests (1.8%).

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

$2.268 per $100 assessed

$1.256 Schools · 55% $0.262 County · 12% $0.750 Town · 33%

This home's own bill implies $1.990 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
