The Fair Share Report

6 Wallkill Dr

Vernon, NJ 07461

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

≈ $366,730

Likely range $303,242 – $437,477, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $366,730 home should be assessed near $337,172.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$234,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $102,672 below what the ratio math suggests (30.5%).

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

$2.345 per $100 assessed

$1.368 Schools · 58% $0.438 County · 19% $0.539 Town · 23%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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