The Fair Share Report

3 Tomahawk Tr

Wantage, NJ 07461

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

≈ $411,058

Likely range $370,035 – $435,337, from 12 comparable Wantage sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.60%

The state's official measure of how far Wantage assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $411,058 home should be assessed near $265,543.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$242,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,243 below what the ratio math suggests (8.8%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wantage home

$3.002 per $100 assessed

$2.064 Schools · 69% $0.589 County · 20% $0.349 Town · 12%

This home's own bill implies $2.899 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,024/yr
Public schools$4,829
Sussex County$1,378
Town of Wantage$817
Wantage average$7,966

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Wantage's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
