The Fair Share Report

644 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

≈ $528,846

Likely range $457,237 – $623,450, 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 $528,846 home should be assessed near $85,038.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$72,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,738 below what the ratio math suggests (15.0%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $10.502 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,593/yr
Public schools$3,587
Hudson County$1,342
Town of Kearny$2,664

Paying about right
