The Fair Share Report

480 Devon St

Kearny, NJ 07032

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

≈ $628,401

Likely range $555,848 – $706,997, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

16.08%

The state's official measure of how far Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $628,401 home should be assessed near $101,047.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$111,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,853 above what the ratio math suggests (10.7%).

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

$10.847 per $100 assessed
