The Fair Share Report

809 Maple Ave

Ridgefield, NJ 07657

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

≈ $586,891

Likely range $407,482 – $625,854, from 12 comparable Ridgefield sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

99.07%

The state's official measure of how far Ridgefield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $586,891 home should be assessed near $581,433.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$454,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $126,833 below what the ratio math suggests (21.8%).

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

$1.694 per $100 assessed

$0.963 Schools · 57% $0.229 County · 14% $0.501 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $1.668 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
