The Fair Share Report

503 Mark Rd

Allendale, NJ 07401

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

≈ $1,302,775

Likely range $1,102,960 – $1,532,090, from 12 comparable Allendale sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

85.11%

The state's official measure of how far Allendale assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,302,775 home should be assessed near $1,108,792.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,538,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $429,408 above what the ratio math suggests (38.7%).

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

$2.030 per $100 assessed

$1.271 Schools · 63% $0.240 County · 12% $0.518 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.807 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$27,795/yr
Public schools$17,411
Bergen County$3,288
Town of Allendale$7,096
