The Fair Share Report

16 E Field Dr

Wantage, NJ 07461

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

≈ $589,880

Likely range $535,750 – $704,755, from 12 comparable Wantage sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.60%

The state's official measure of how far Wantage assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $589,880 home should be assessed near $381,062.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$385,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,938 above what the ratio math suggests (1.0%).

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

$3.002 per $100 assessed

$2.064 Schools · 69% $0.589 County · 20% $0.349 Town · 12%

Step 5 · The bill

$11,558/yr
Public schools$7,946
