The Fair Share Report

62 Walker Ave

Closter, NJ 07620

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Closter's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $977,603

Likely range $864,387 – $1,039,077, from 12 comparable Closter sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.08%

The state's official measure of how far Closter assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $977,603 home should be assessed near $841,521.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$892,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $51,179 above what the ratio math suggests (6.1%).

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

$2.071 per $100 assessed

$1.285 Schools · 62% $0.239 County · 12% $0.547 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.911 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
