The Fair Share Report

781 Arbor Rd

Paramus, NJ 07652

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

≈ $2,575,652

Likely range $2,008,829 – $2,636,373, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 5,344 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,575,652 home should be assessed near $2,403,083.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,341,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $61,383 below what the ratio math suggests (2.6%).

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

$1.499 per $100 assessed

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.442 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill
