The Fair Share Report

36 Twentieth Ave

Berkeley, NJ 07950

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

≈ $393,600

Likely range $368,432 – $462,169, 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 $393,600 home should be assessed near $208,411.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$286,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,589 above what the ratio math suggests (37.2%).

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

$7,407/yr
Public schools$3,469
Ocean County$1,665
Town of Berkeley$2,274
Berkeley average$5,442

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (60.89%) — roughly $2,010/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
