The Fair Share Report

42 Diaz Pl

Paramus, NJ 07652

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Paramus's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $893,270

Likely range $758,740 – $995,848, 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 $893,270 home should be assessed near $833,421.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$722,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $110,921 below what the ratio math suggests (13.3%).

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).
