The Fair Share Report

830 Carter Ln

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

≈ $844,137

Likely range $747,304 – $907,652, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,663 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 $844,137 home should be assessed near $787,580.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$760,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $26,880 below what the ratio math suggests (3.4%).

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 $1.407 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$5,063
