The Fair Share Report

37 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

≈ $354,468

Likely range $298,081 – $412,380, 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 $354,468 home should be assessed near $261,597.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$182,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $79,597 below what the ratio math suggests (30.4%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,760/yr
Public schools$3,071
