The Fair Share Report

21 Marlo 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

≈ $758,307

Likely range $722,678 – $830,466, 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 $758,307 home should be assessed near $271,626.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$241,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $30,626 below what the ratio math suggests (11.3%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $5.894 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,205/yr
Public schools$7,904
Passaic County$2,963
Town of Wayne$3,338
Wayne average$13,868

Paying about right
