The Fair Share Report

4 Maple Rd

Vernon, NJ 07461

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

≈ $353,659

Likely range $298,381 – $420,176, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $353,659 home should be assessed near $325,154.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$223,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $101,354 below what the ratio math suggests (31.2%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Vernon pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
