The Fair Share Report

5 Crest 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

≈ $480,354

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

64.60%

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

$338,300

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

$3.002 per $100 assessed

$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

$9,906/yr
Public schools$6,811
Sussex County$1,944
Town of Wantage$1,152
Wantage average$7,966

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%).
