The Fair Share Report

18 Second 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

≈ $684,183

Likely range $585,569 – $717,335, 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 $684,183 home should be assessed near $377,464.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$337,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,164 below what the ratio math suggests (10.6%).

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

$3.082 per $100 assessed
