The Fair Share Report

408 Devon St

Lacey, NJ 08731

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

≈ $860,293

Likely range $799,579 – $1,006,560, from 12 comparable Lacey sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.11%

The state's official measure of how far Lacey assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $860,293 home should be assessed near $517,122.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$342,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $174,422 below what the ratio math suggests (33.7%).

$2.735 per $100 assessed

$1.650 Schools · 60% $0.520 County · 19% $0.564 Town · 21%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Lacey pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
