The Fair Share Report

32 Timberline Rd

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $591,257

Likely range $499,605 – $710,272, 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 $591,257 home should be assessed near $313,071.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$316,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,229 above what the ratio math suggests (1.0%).

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

$8,192/yr
Public schools$3,837

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.
