The Fair Share Report

20 Apache Rd

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

≈ $1,001,297

Likely range $848,963 – $1,297,454, 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 $1,001,297 home should be assessed near $358,665.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$484,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $125,935 above what the ratio math suggests (35.1%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$29,066/yr
Public schools$16,174
Passaic County$6,063
Town of Wayne$6,829
Wayne average$13,868

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Wayne, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (41.19%).
