The Fair Share Report

46 E Ruby Ave

Palisades Park, NJ 07650

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

≈ $796,335

Likely range $665,255 – $991,804, from 12 comparable Palisades Park sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.69%

The state's official measure of how far Palisades Park assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $796,335 home should be assessed near $698,306.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$740,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,094 above what the ratio math suggests (6.0%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Palisades Park home

$1.463 per $100 assessed

$0.663 Schools · 45% $0.245 County · 17% $0.555 Town · 38%

This home's own bill implies $1.367 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
