The Fair Share Report

48 Eckert Ave

Newark, NJ 07112

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

≈ $605,790

Likely range $431,320 – $693,729, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.69%

The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $605,790 home should be assessed near $246,496.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$181,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $64,896 below what the ratio math suggests (26.3%).

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

$3.999 per $100 assessed

$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%

Step 5 · The bill
