The Fair Share Report

1480 Ratzer Rd

Wayne, NJ 07801

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

≈ $940,290

Likely range $797,508 – $1,045,730, 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 $940,290 home should be assessed near $336,812.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$277,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,812 below what the ratio math suggests (17.8%).

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

$16,614/yr
Public schools$9,245
