The Fair Share Report

323 Colfax 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

≈ $865,466

Likely range $755,062 – $908,725, 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 $865,466 home should be assessed near $310,010.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$237,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,510 below what the ratio math suggests (23.4%).

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 $5.893 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,995/yr
Public schools$7,788
Passaic County$2,919
Town of Wayne$3,288
Wayne average$13,868

Paying about right
