Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $597,144 – $690,020, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
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 $649,872 home should be assessed near $600,937.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,663 above what the ratio math suggests (6.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
Step 5 · The bill

A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Ocean, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
