Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $303,409 – $439,181, 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 $387,793 home should be assessed near $358,592.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $22,192 below what the ratio math suggests (6.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
This home's own bill implies $1.504 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Ocean's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
