The Fair Share Report

673 Rt 519

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

≈ $371,504

Likely range $326,857 – $469,923, 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 $371,504 home should be assessed near $239,992.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$225,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,492 below what the ratio math suggests (6.0%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$6,770/yr
Public schools$4,654
Sussex County$1,328
Town of Wantage$787

Paying about right
