The Fair Share Report

153 Eldridge Ave

Lawrence, NJ 08648

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

≈ $284,509

Likely range $223,511 – $325,184, from 12 comparable Lawrence sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

73.80%

The state's official measure of how far Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $284,509 home should be assessed near $209,968.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$138,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $71,068 below what the ratio math suggests (33.8%).

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

$3.164 per $100 assessed

$1.687 Schools · 53% $0.795 County · 25% $0.682 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $2.985 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$4,146/yr
Public schools$2,211
Mercer County$1,042
Town of Lawrence$894

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Lawrence's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
