The Fair Share Report

79 Maple Ave

Lawrence, NJ 08311

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

≈ $247,836

Likely range $133,236 – $331,976, from 12 comparable Lawrence sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.01%

The state's official measure of how far Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $247,836 home should be assessed near $183,423.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$155,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,123 below what the ratio math suggests (15.3%).

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

$2.977 per $100 assessed

$1.214 Schools · 41% $1.092 County · 37% $0.671 Town · 23%

Step 5 · The bill

Paying about right
