Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $463,048 – $521,388, from 12 comparable Wantage 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 Wantage assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $480,354 home should be assessed near $310,309.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,991 above what the ratio math suggests (9.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wantage home
$2.064 Schools · 69% $0.589 County · 20% $0.349 Town · 12%
This home's own bill implies $2.928 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Wantage sale · assessed ÷ market
39%80%
A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Wantage, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (74.29%).
