The Fair Share Report

67 Unity Ave

Newark, NJ 07106

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

≈ $407,932

Likely range $250,881 – $446,923, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.69%

The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $407,932 home should be assessed near $165,988.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$70,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,888 below what the ratio math suggests (57.8%).

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

$3.999 per $100 assessed

$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%

This home's own bill implies $8.009 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$5,615/yr
Public schools$1,631
Essex County$729
Town of Newark$3,254

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Newark's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
