Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $204,513 – $444,708, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $384,013 home should be assessed near $203,335.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,765 above what the ratio math suggests (22.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill

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%).
