The Fair Share Report

105 Georgetown Rd

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $400,000

Likely range $335,000 – $440,722, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,514 sq ft.

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 $400,000 home should be assessed near $211,800.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$127,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $84,800 below what the ratio math suggests (40.0%).

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 $2.393 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$3,039/yr
Public schools$1,423
Ocean County$683
Town of Berkeley$933

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Berkeley pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
