The Fair Share Report

2 Le Lamentin Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $304,578

Likely range $250,000 – $355,000, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,264 sq ft.

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 $304,578 home should be assessed near $161,274.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$122,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $39,074 below what the ratio math suggests (24.2%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $2.103 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$2,569/yr
Public schools$1,203
Ocean County$577
Town of Berkeley$789
Berkeley average$5,442

Paying about right

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