Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $706,826 – $867,416, from 12 comparable Wayne 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 Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $805,076 home should be assessed near $288,378.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $204,422 above what the ratio math suggests (70.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home
$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%
