The Fair Share Report

417 Terhune Ave

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $858,486

Likely range $759,583 – $938,933, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $858,486 home should be assessed near $800,967.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$622,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $178,867 below what the ratio math suggests (22.3%).

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

$1.499 per $100 assessed

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.409 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,763/yr
Public schools$4,145
Bergen County$1,409
Town of Paramus$3,209
Paramus average$13,058

Paying about right
