Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $581,915 – $787,566, 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 $743,586 home should be assessed near $266,353.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $747 above what the ratio math suggests (0.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wayne home
$3.337 Schools · 56% $1.251 County · 21% $1.409 Town · 23%
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%).
