The Fair Share Report

3 E Delaware Ave

Long Beach, NJ 08053

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

≈ $1,312,188

Likely range $1,015,616 – $1,434,750, from 12 comparable Long Beach sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

65.41%

The state's official measure of how far Long Beach assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,312,188 home should be assessed near $858,302.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$700,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $157,602 below what the ratio math suggests (18.4%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Long Beach home

$0.913 per $100 assessed

$0.253 Schools · 28% $0.439 County · 48% $0.220 Town · 24%
