The Fair Share Report

8 Paddock Dr

Lawrence, NJ 08648

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

≈ $665,984

Likely range $447,676 – $781,374, from 12 comparable Lawrence sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

73.80%

The state's official measure of how far Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $665,984 home should be assessed near $491,496.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$405,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $85,896 below what the ratio math suggests (17.5%).

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

$3.164 per $100 assessed

$1.687 Schools · 53% $0.795 County · 25% $0.682 Town · 22%
