The Fair Share Report

308 Seashell Ln

Brigantine, NJ 08203

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

≈ $629,464

Likely range $486,888 – $787,414, from 12 comparable Brigantine sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.07%

The state's official measure of how far Brigantine assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $629,464 home should be assessed near $327,762.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$292,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,162 below what the ratio math suggests (10.7%).

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

$1.952 per $100 assessed

$0.477 Schools · 24% $0.754 County · 39% $0.722 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.868 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,464/yr
Public schools$1,335
Atlantic County$2,110
Town of Brigantine$2,020
Brigantine average$7,655

Paying about right
