The Fair Share Report
10 Rays Ct
Wayne, NJ 07470
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $719,005 – $868,836, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $768,383 home should be assessed near $275,235.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $81,835 below what the ratio math suggests (29.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home
$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%
