The Fair Share Report

3003 Sunset Ave

Ocean, NJ 07712

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

≈ $838,010

Likely range $568,422 – $1,105,338, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

94.25%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $838,010 home should be assessed near $789,824.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$532,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $257,124 below what the ratio math suggests (32.6%).

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

$1.319 per $100 assessed

$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $1.268 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$6,756/yr
Public schools$4,099
Monmouth County$1,146
Town of Ocean$1,510
Ocean average$12,291

Paying about right

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