The Fair Share Report

12 Chimney Ln

Wayne, NJ 07470

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

≈ $977,041

Likely range $867,191 – $1,301,595, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $977,041 home should be assessed near $349,976.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$434,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $84,424 above what the ratio math suggests (24.1%).

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

$5.998 per $100 assessed

$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%

Step 5 · The bill

$26,055/yr
Public schools$14,498

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Wayne, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (41.19%).
