The Fair Share Report
439 Second Ave
Lyndhurst, NJ 07071
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Lyndhurst's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $398,573 – $618,358, from 12 comparable Lyndhurst sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Lyndhurst assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $554,364 home should be assessed near $482,352.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,252 below what the ratio math suggests (6.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Lyndhurst home
$1.090 Schools · 49% $0.247 County · 11% $0.887 Town · 40%
This home's own bill implies $2.078 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
