The Fair Share Report
22 Down Ct
Berkeley, NJ 08757
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $258,630 – $330,214, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,140 sq ft.
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 $290,000 home should be assessed near $153,555.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $52,155 below what the ratio math suggests (34.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
