The Fair Share Report

37 Good Luck Dr

Berkeley, NJ 07007

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

≈ $501,629

Likely range $455,450 – $612,660, 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 $501,629 home should be assessed near $265,613.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$264,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,313 below what the ratio math suggests (0.5%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $2.495 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$6,595/yr
Public schools$3,089
Ocean County$1,482
Town of Berkeley$2,024
Berkeley average$5,442

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.
