The Fair Share Report

9 First Ave

Wanaque, NJ 07465

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

≈ $508,956

Likely range $443,523 – $581,602, 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 $508,956 home should be assessed near $276,923.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$249,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,323 below what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).

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%
