Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $281,250 – $352,129, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 900 sq ft.
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 $309,375 home should be assessed near $286,079.

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
