The Fair Share Report
44 Everett Pl
Plainfield, NJ 07060
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 Plainfield's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $410,000 – $640,000, from 12 comparable Plainfield sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Plainfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $490,000 home should be assessed near $121,765.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $19,565 below what the ratio math suggests (16.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Plainfield home
$2.428 Schools · 27% $1.300 County · 15% $5.198 Town · 58%
Plainfield also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $9.354 per $100 all-in (+$0.428).
