The Fair Share Report

2 Ruby Ct

Lakewood, NJ 08701

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

≈ $724,670

Likely range $576,302 – $936,042, from 12 comparable Lakewood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.27%

The state's official measure of how far Lakewood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $724,670 home should be assessed near $378,785.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$366,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,185 below what the ratio math suggests (3.2%).

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

$2.461 per $100 assessed

$1.026 Schools · 42% $0.600 County · 24% $0.835 Town · 34%

Step 5 · The bill

$9,484/yr
Public schools$3,954
