The Fair Share Report

438 Devon St

Kearny, NJ 07032

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

≈ $750,608

Likely range $659,158 – $816,621, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,378 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

16.08%

The state's official measure of how far Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $750,608 home should be assessed near $120,698.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$134,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $13,902 above what the ratio math suggests (11.5%).

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

$10.847 per $100 assessed

$5.124 Schools · 47% $1.917 County · 18% $3.806 Town · 35%

This home's own bill implies $11.533 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.
