Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $319,237 – $588,254, from 12 comparable Berkeley 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 Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $443,831 home should be assessed near $235,009.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $213,491 above what the ratio math suggests (90.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
This home's own bill implies $2.534 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (60.89%) — roughly $5,529/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
