The Fair Share Report

1306 Berkeley Ave

Ocean, NJ 07712

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

≈ $915,921

Likely range $840,495 – $1,075,160, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

94.25%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $915,921 home should be assessed near $863,256.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,246,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $382,744 above what the ratio math suggests (44.3%).

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

$1.319 per $100 assessed

$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $1.289 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$16,063/yr
Public schools$9,747
Monmouth County$2,726
Town of Ocean$3,590
Ocean average$12,291

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 $5,048/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
