The Fair Share Report

738 Second Ave

Lyndhurst, NJ 07071

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

≈ $741,942

Likely range $643,460 – $895,911, from 12 comparable Lyndhurst sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.01%

The state's official measure of how far Lyndhurst assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $741,942 home should be assessed near $645,564.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$701,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $55,436 above what the ratio math suggests (8.6%).

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

$2.225 per $100 assessed

$1.090 Schools · 49% $0.247 County · 11% $0.887 Town · 40%

This home's own bill implies $2.096 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,696/yr
Public schools$7,203
Bergen County$1,632
Town of Lyndhurst$5,861
