The Fair Share Report

8 E Gate Dr

Vernon, NJ 07418

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

≈ $549,685

Likely range $473,582 – $617,641, from 12 comparable Vernon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

91.94%

The state's official measure of how far Vernon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $549,685 home should be assessed near $505,380.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$484,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $21,080 below what the ratio math suggests (4.2%).

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

$2.345 per $100 assessed

$1.368 Schools · 58% $0.438 County · 19% $0.539 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $2.293 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,107/yr
Public schools$6,479
Sussex County$2,075
Town of Vernon$2,553
