The Fair Share Report

115 Ceylon Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08751

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

≈ $436,596

Likely range $350,751 – $520,325, 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 $436,596 home should be assessed near $231,178.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$294,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $63,022 above what the ratio math suggests (27.3%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,620/yr
Public schools$3,569

Town of Berkeley$2,339

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Berkeley, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (60.89%).
