The Fair Share Report

791 Berdan Ave

Wayne, NJ 07470

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

≈ $761,863

Likely range $659,720 – $794,951, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $761,863 home should be assessed near $272,899.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$184,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $88,899 below what the ratio math suggests (32.6%).

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

$5.998 per $100 assessed

$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%
