The Fair Share Report

7 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

≈ $496,535

Likely range $450,728 – $585,346, 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 $496,535 home should be assessed near $320,762.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$316,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $4,762 below what the ratio math suggests (1.5%).

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%
