The Fair Share Report

54 Arrowhead Dr

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

≈ $379,218

Likely range $289,319 – $449,431, 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 $379,218 home should be assessed near $244,975.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$151,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $93,775 below what the ratio math suggests (38.3%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$4,539/yr
Public schools$3,121
