The Fair Share Report

5 Mckenzie Ave

E Rutherford, NJ 07073

The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside East Rutherford's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $627,788

Likely range $565,346 – $746,679, from 12 comparable East Rutherford sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

102.14%

The state's official measure of how far East Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $627,788 home should be assessed near $641,223.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$553,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,423 below what the ratio math suggests (13.6%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every East Rutherford home

$1.608 per $100 assessed

$0.926 Schools · 58% $0.236 County · 15% $0.446 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $1.552 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
