The Fair Share Report

16 Third St

Barnegat, NJ 08005

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

≈ $644,640

Likely range $606,521 – $693,811, from 12 comparable Barnegat sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.17%

The state's official measure of how far Barnegat assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $644,640 home should be assessed near $355,648.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$305,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $50,548 below what the ratio math suggests (14.2%).

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

$3.082 per $100 assessed

$1.527 Schools · 50% $0.562 County · 18% $0.993 Town · 32%

This home's own bill implies $3.052 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$9,311/yr
Public schools$4,613
Ocean County$1,698
Town of Barnegat$3,000
