The Fair Share Report

21 E Harmony Ave

Long Beach, NJ 08058

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

≈ $2,202,339

Likely range $2,008,332 – $2,395,584, from 12 comparable Long Beach sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

65.41%

The state's official measure of how far Long Beach assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,202,339 home should be assessed near $1,440,550.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,193,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $246,950 below what the ratio math suggests (17.1%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Long Beach home

$0.913 per $100 assessed

$0.253 Schools · 28% $0.439 County · 48% $0.220 Town · 24%

This home's own bill implies $0.892 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,648/yr
Public schools$2,954
Ocean County$5,125
Town of Long Beach$2,568

Paying about right
