The Fair Share Report

601 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

≈ $497,813

Likely range $447,993 – $608,911, 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 $497,813 home should be assessed near $80,048.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$59,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $20,648 below what the ratio math suggests (25.8%).

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%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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