The Fair Share Report

43 Ferndale Rd

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

≈ $1,759,834

Likely range $1,508,571 – $1,858,010, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,200 sq ft.

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 $1,759,834 home should be assessed near $1,641,925.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,693,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $51,775 above what the ratio math suggests (3.2%).

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 $1.253 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$10,034
Bergen County$3,411
