The Fair Share Report

46 Ryan Rd

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

≈ $449,587

Likely range $362,357 – $501,116, 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 $449,587 home should be assessed near $290,433.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$216,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,233 below what the ratio math suggests (25.6%).

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%
