The Fair Share Report

4 William Ln

Ocean, NJ 07712

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

≈ $819,648

Likely range $719,448 – $871,192, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

94.25%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $819,648 home should be assessed near $772,518.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$793,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $20,882 above what the ratio math suggests (2.7%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home

$1.319 per $100 assessed

$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
