The Fair Share Report

111 Twentieth Ave

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

≈ $503,604

Likely range $445,770 – $679,121, 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 $503,604 home should be assessed near $266,658.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$539,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $272,942 above what the ratio math suggests (102.4%).

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 $2.544 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,726/yr
Public schools$6,428
Ocean County$3,084
Town of Berkeley$4,213
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 $7,069/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
