The Fair Share Report

856 Ester Ave

Teaneck, NJ 07666

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

≈ $574,345

Likely range $486,862 – $643,090, from 12 comparable Teaneck sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.85%

The state's official measure of how far Teaneck assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $574,345 home should be assessed near $516,049.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$463,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $53,049 below what the ratio math suggests (10.3%).

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

$2.291 per $100 assessed

$1.250 Schools · 55% $0.241 County · 11% $0.800 Town · 35%

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