The Fair Share Report

12 Compass Rd

Ocean, NJ 08053

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

≈ $376,275

Likely range $350,545 – $541,189, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.47%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $376,275 home should be assessed near $347,941.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$509,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $161,059 above what the ratio math suggests (46.3%).

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

$1.578 per $100 assessed

$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%

Step 5 · The bill

$8,032/yr
Public schools$3,629

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Ocean, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
