The Fair Share Report

111 Bow St

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $695,629

Likely range $621,040 – $865,648, 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 $695,629 home should be assessed near $368,336.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$600,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $231,664 above what the ratio math suggests (62.9%).

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 $2.548 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$15,290/yr
Public schools$7,161
Ocean County$3,436
Town of Berkeley$4,693
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 $6,000/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
