The Fair Share Report

24 Whitaker Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $427,234

Likely range $297,164 – $460,567, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $427,234 home should be assessed near $226,220.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$219,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $7,120 below what the ratio math suggests (3.1%).

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%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,675/yr
Public schools$2,658
Ocean County$1,275
Town of Berkeley$1,742

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Berkeley's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
