The Fair Share Report

17 Millstone Way

Ocean, NJ 08758

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Ocean's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $627,100

Likely range $592,867 – $648,670, 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 $627,100 home should be assessed near $579,879.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$480,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $99,379 below what the ratio math suggests (17.1%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $1.526 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
