The Fair Share Report

72 Maple Ave

Wallington, NJ 07057

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

≈ $959,663

Likely range $873,092 – $1,089,830, from 12 comparable Wallington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.76%

The state's official measure of how far Wallington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $959,663 home should be assessed near $928,570.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$893,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,570 below what the ratio math suggests (3.8%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wallington home

$1.950 per $100 assessed

$1.011 Schools · 52% $0.226 County · 12% $0.714 Town · 37%
