The Fair Share Report

2 Oak Pl

Lawrence, NJ 08540

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

≈ $898,628

Likely range $614,040 – $992,804, from 12 comparable Lawrence sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,165 sq ft.

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 $898,628 home should be assessed near $663,187.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$580,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $82,287 below what the ratio math suggests (12.4%).

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 $3.127 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$18,167/yr
Public schools$9,686
Mercer County$4,565
Town of Lawrence$3,916
