The Fair Share Report

87 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

≈ $179,652

Likely range $132,776 – $252,223, 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 $179,652 home should be assessed near $132,960.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$122,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,860 below what the ratio math suggests (8.2%).

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

$3,639/yr
Public schools$1,484
