The Fair Share Report

9 Rustic Rd

Vernon, NJ 07422

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

≈ $331,125

Likely range $289,480 – $375,790, 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 $331,125 home should be assessed near $304,436.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$259,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,136 below what the ratio math suggests (14.8%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $2.249 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,831/yr
Public schools$3,401
Sussex County$1,089
Town of Vernon$1,340
