The Fair Share Report

16 Hightide Dr

Ocean, NJ 08758

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

≈ $620,714

Likely range $444,384 – $744,373, 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 $620,714 home should be assessed near $573,974.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$798,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $224,426 above what the ratio math suggests (39.1%).

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

$12,599/yr
Public schools$5,693
Ocean County$2,707
Town of Ocean$4,200
Ocean average$7,377

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
