The Fair Share Report

345 E Ave

Bay Head, NJ 07960

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

≈ $6,398,223

Likely range $5,128,096 – $10,579,737, from 7 comparable Bay Head sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.09%

The state's official measure of how far Bay Head assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $6,398,223 home should be assessed near $3,588,763.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$5,216,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,627,437 above what the ratio math suggests (45.3%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bay Head home

$1.104 per $100 assessed

$0.251 Schools · 23% $0.576 County · 52% $0.277 Town · 25%
