The Fair Share Report

66 Ridge Pl

Wayne, NJ 07470

The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Wayne's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $744,370

Likely range $688,441 – $834,660, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $744,370 home should be assessed near $266,633.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$218,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $48,233 below what the ratio math suggests (18.1%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home

$5.998 per $100 assessed

$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $5.884 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,850/yr
Public schools$7,150
Passaic County$2,680
Town of Wayne$3,019
