The Fair Share Report

48 Eileen Dr

Cedar Grove, NJ 07009

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

≈ $1,865,294

Likely range $1,556,484 – $2,272,698, from 12 comparable Cedar Grove sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

68.20%

The state's official measure of how far Cedar Grove assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,865,294 home should be assessed near $1,272,131.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,715,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $443,569 above what the ratio math suggests (34.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Cedar Grove home

$2.602 per $100 assessed

$1.547 Schools · 59% $0.473 County · 18% $0.582 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $1.699 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.
