The Fair Share Report

101 Beach Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08752

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

≈ $521,407

Likely range $460,966 – $635,186, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%

The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $521,407 home should be assessed near $276,085.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$528,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $252,815 above what the ratio math suggests (91.6%).

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

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%

This home's own bill implies $2.543 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,449/yr
Public schools$6,298
Ocean County$3,022
Town of Berkeley$4,128
Berkeley average$5,442

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (60.89%) — roughly $6,548/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
