The Fair Share Report

56 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

≈ $455,596

Likely range $367,200 – $498,081, 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 $455,596 home should be assessed near $294,315.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$239,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $55,115 below what the ratio math suggests (18.7%).

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 $2.897 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$6,931/yr
Public schools$4,765
Sussex County$1,360
Town of Wantage$806
Wantage average$7,966

Paying about right
