The Fair Share Report

16 Maple Ave

Wanaque, NJ 07420

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

≈ $518,785

Likely range $494,190 – $538,823, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.41%

The state's official measure of how far Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $518,785 home should be assessed near $282,271.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$186,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,971 below what the ratio math suggests (34.0%).

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

$4.540 per $100 assessed

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.
