The Fair Share Report

540 Trinity Pl

Westfield, NJ 07090

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

≈ $1,031,442

Likely range $914,494 – $1,208,630, from 12 comparable Westfield sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,001 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

72.48%

The state's official measure of how far Westfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,031,442 home should be assessed near $747,589.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$494,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $252,789 below what the ratio math suggests (33.8%).

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

$2.291 per $100 assessed

$1.428 Schools · 62% $0.455 County · 20% $0.409 Town · 18%

Westfield also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $2.396 per $100 all-in (+$0.105).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$7,066

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Westfield pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
