The Fair Share Report

689 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

≈ $460,473

Likely range $402,393 – $586,173, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,186 sq ft.

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 $460,473 home should be assessed near $74,044.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$73,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $244 below what the ratio math suggests (0.3%).

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 $11.436 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$8,440/yr
Public schools$3,987
Hudson County$1,492
Town of Kearny$2,961
