The Fair Share Report

703 Rt 23

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

≈ $296,949

Likely range $294,746 – $338,262, 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 $296,949 home should be assessed near $191,829.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$103,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $88,529 below what the ratio math suggests (46.1%).

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%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Wantage pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
