The Fair Share Report

48 Wolf Pl

Hillside, NJ 07205

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

≈ $694,494

Likely range $660,627 – $844,681, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $694,494 home should be assessed near $168,970.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$179,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,330 above what the ratio math suggests (6.1%).

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

$8.899 per $100 assessed

$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%

This home's own bill implies $8.760 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$15,706/yr
Public schools$6,084
Union County$2,484
Town of Hillside$7,138

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Hillside's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
