Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $552,460 – $897,066, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $751,585 home should be assessed near $269,218.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,082 above what the ratio math suggests (21.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home
$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%
This home's own bill implies $5.922 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Wayne sale · assessed ÷ market

A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Wayne, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (41.19%).
