The Fair Share Report

68 Decker 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

≈ $489,027

Likely range $412,536 – $521,320, 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 $489,027 home should be assessed near $315,911.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$286,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,411 below what the ratio math suggests (9.3%).

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%
