The Fair Share Report

4 Down Ct

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $288,423

Likely range $248,524 – $340,033, 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 $288,423 home should be assessed near $152,720.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$124,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,720 below what the ratio math suggests (18.8%).

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

$3,212/yr
Public schools$1,504

Paying about right
