The Fair Share Report

79 Warwick Rd

Hillside, NJ 07205

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price 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 Hillside's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $523,578

Likely range $365,290 – $557,223, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $523,578 home should be assessed near $127,387.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$131,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,713 above what the ratio math suggests (2.9%).

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

$8.899 per $100 assessed

$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%

This home's own bill implies $8.708 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
