The Fair Share Report

85 Laurel

Dumont, NJ 07628

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

≈ $535,751

Likely range $450,867 – $561,998, from 12 comparable Dumont sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,092 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.31%

The state's official measure of how far Dumont assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $535,751 home should be assessed near $510,624.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$644,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $133,576 above what the ratio math suggests (26.2%).

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

$2.340 per $100 assessed

$1.304 Schools · 56% $0.233 County · 10% $0.803 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $2.184 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,070/yr
Public schools$7,841
Bergen County$1,401
Town of Dumont$4,828
Dumont average$13,046

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
