The Fair Share Report

151 Lionshead Dr E

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

≈ $709,968

Likely range $654,272 – $807,636, 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 $709,968 home should be assessed near $254,311.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$193,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $60,511 below what the ratio math suggests (23.8%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $5.869 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,374/yr
Public schools$6,329
Passaic County$2,373
Town of Wayne$2,672

Paying about right
