The Fair Share Report

8 Wallkill Dr

Vernon, NJ 07461

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

≈ $332,643

Likely range $287,448 – $384,668, 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 $332,643 home should be assessed near $305,832.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$231,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,332 below what the ratio math suggests (24.3%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,429/yr
Public schools$3,167
