The Fair Share Report

2 Brook Dr

Ocean, NJ 07712

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

≈ $850,548

Likely range $767,382 – $1,017,802, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

94.25%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $850,548 home should be assessed near $801,641.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,461,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $659,559 above what the ratio math suggests (82.3%).

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

$1.319 per $100 assessed

$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $1.254 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$18,317/yr
Public schools$11,115
Monmouth County$3,108
Town of Ocean$4,094
Ocean average$12,291

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $8,700/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
