The Fair Share Report

577 Pine St

Deerfield, NJ 08302

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

≈ $329,988

Likely range $257,190 – $370,691, from 12 comparable Deerfield sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.08%

The state's official measure of how far Deerfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $329,988 home should be assessed near $198,257.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$116,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $81,957 below what the ratio math suggests (41.3%).

$3.890 per $100 assessed

$2.376 Schools · 61% $1.347 County · 35% $0.167 Town · 4%
