The Fair Share Report
2 Cedar Ave
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.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $320,281 – $401,394, 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 $366,318 home should be assessed near $338,734.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $92,034 below what the ratio math suggests (27.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
