The Fair Share Report

451 Arthur Ter

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

≈ $873,352

Likely range $825,632 – $954,562, 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 $873,352 home should be assessed near $814,837.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$958,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $143,163 above what the ratio math suggests (17.6%).

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 $1.408 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,490/yr
Public schools$6,380
Bergen County$2,169
Town of Paramus$4,940
Paramus average$13,058

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $2,146/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
