The Fair Share Report

23 Lake Dr E

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

≈ $771,493

Likely range $595,047 – $812,434, 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 $771,493 home should be assessed near $276,349.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$285,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,051 above what the ratio math suggests (3.3%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$17,118/yr
Public schools$9,525
Passaic County$3,571
Town of Wayne$4,022
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%).
