Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $280,000 – $326,500, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 900 sq ft.
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 $325,000 home should be assessed near $116,415.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,515 below what the ratio math suggests (31.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home
$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%

Paying about right
