The Fair Share Report

42 Matthew 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

≈ $673,363

Likely range $637,014 – $719,852, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,092 sq ft.

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 $673,363 home should be assessed near $241,199.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$173,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $67,699 below what the ratio math suggests (28.1%).

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 $7.142 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$12,392/yr
Public schools$6,895
Passaic County$2,585

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Wayne pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
