The Fair Share Report

2 Second St

Lakehurst, 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

≈ $220,096

Likely range $190,284 – $257,697, from 9 comparable Lakehurst sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

85.72%

The state's official measure of how far Lakehurst assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $220,096 home should be assessed near $188,666.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$145,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,966 below what the ratio math suggests (22.8%).

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

$2.297 per $100 assessed

$0.687 Schools · 30% $0.372 County · 16% $1.238 Town · 54%
