The Fair Share Report

25 New St

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

≈ $598,774

Likely range $438,909 – $711,239, 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 $598,774 home should be assessed near $214,481.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$142,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,381 below what the ratio math suggests (33.7%).

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

$8,523/yr

Paying about right
