The Fair Share Report

503 Devoe Ave

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

≈ $491,156

Likely range $378,448 – $580,405, 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 $491,156 home should be assessed near $295,234.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$299,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,766 above what the ratio math suggests (1.3%).

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

$2.735 per $100 assessed

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

Step 5 · The bill

$8,178/yr
Public schools$4,935

Town of Lacey$1,687
