The Fair Share Report

175 Pheasant Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $511,135

Likely range $468,410 – $583,714, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,838 sq ft.

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 $511,135 home should be assessed near $270,646.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$253,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,646 below what the ratio math suggests (6.5%).

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 $2.544 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$6,436/yr
Public schools$3,014
Ocean County$1,446
Town of Berkeley$1,976
