The Fair Share Report

509 Smith Ct

Edgewater, NJ 07020

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

≈ $713,963

Likely range $621,176 – $878,251, from 12 comparable Edgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.49%

The state's official measure of how far Edgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $713,963 home should be assessed near $638,925.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$768,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $129,575 above what the ratio math suggests (20.3%).

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

$1.645 per $100 assessed

$0.714 Schools · 43% $0.247 County · 15% $0.683 Town · 42%

This home's own bill implies $1.585 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,180/yr
Public schools$5,290
Bergen County$1,830
Town of Edgewater$5,060
