Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $481,813 – $516,406, from 12 comparable Wanaque 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 Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $501,710 home should be assessed near $272,980.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $76,980 below what the ratio math suggests (28.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wanaque home
$2.486 Schools · 55% $0.828 County · 18% $1.227 Town · 27%
Step 5 · The bill

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Wanaque pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
