The Fair Share Report

22 Third St

Barnegat, NJ 08005

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

≈ $709,755

Likely range $607,455 – $732,541, from 12 comparable Barnegat sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.17%

The state's official measure of how far Barnegat assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $709,755 home should be assessed near $391,572.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$349,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $41,772 below what the ratio math suggests (10.7%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Barnegat home

$3.082 per $100 assessed

$1.527 Schools · 50% $0.562 County · 18% $0.993 Town · 32%

This home's own bill implies $3.012 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,534/yr
Public schools$5,219
Ocean County$1,921
Town of Barnegat$3,394

Paying about right
