The Fair Share Report

Berkeley, NJ 07032

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

≈ $368,614

Likely range $329,963 – $485,683, 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 $368,614 home should be assessed near $195,181.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$477,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $282,119 above what the ratio math suggests (144.5%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $2.538 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,112/yr
Public schools$5,673
Ocean County$2,722
Town of Berkeley$3,718
Berkeley average$5,442

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
