Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $539,071 – $704,792, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,152 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $612,945 home should be assessed near $577,701.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $214,199 above what the ratio math suggests (37.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
This home's own bill implies $1.245 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $2,825/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
