The Fair Share Report

2 Dune 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

≈ $304,066

Likely range $247,420 – $434,549, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $304,066 home should be assessed near $161,003.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$533,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $372,197 above what the ratio math suggests (231.2%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$13,810/yr
Public schools$6,468

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
