The Fair Share Report

550 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

≈ $767,606

Likely range $665,248 – $969,085, 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 $767,606 home should be assessed near $123,431.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$113,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,431 below what the ratio math suggests (8.5%).

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

$10.847 per $100 assessed

$5.124 Schools · 47% $1.917 County · 18% $3.806 Town · 35%
