The Fair Share Report

227 Twenty Second Ave

Berkeley, NJ 07675

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

≈ $364,438

Likely range $333,554 – $400,026, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,470 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%

The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $364,438 home should be assessed near $192,970.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$423,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $230,430 above what the ratio math suggests (119.4%).

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

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
