The Fair Share Report

77 Wareham Rd

Dumont, NJ 07628

The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average 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 Dumont's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $718,537

Likely range $669,752 – $786,066, from 12 comparable Dumont sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.31%

The state's official measure of how far Dumont assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $718,537 home should be assessed near $684,838.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$642,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,238 below what the ratio math suggests (6.2%).

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

$2.340 per $100 assessed

$1.304 Schools · 56% $0.233 County · 10% $0.803 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $2.171 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
