Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $311,782 – $410,316, from 12 comparable Wantage 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 Wantage assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $362,729 home should be assessed near $234,323.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,823 below what the ratio math suggests (12.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wantage home
$2.064 Schools · 69% $0.589 County · 20% $0.349 Town · 12%
This home's own bill implies $2.880 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Wantage sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Wantage's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
