The Fair Share Report

8 Second Ave

Wanaque, NJ 07420

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

≈ $526,944

Likely range $490,135 – $563,667, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.41%

The state's official measure of how far Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $526,944 home should be assessed near $286,710.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$209,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,610 below what the ratio math suggests (27.1%).

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

$4.540 per $100 assessed

$2.486 Schools · 55% $0.828 County · 18% $1.227 Town · 27%
