The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
A touch high — but not appeal-worthy
Above most of Berkeley, but below NJ's legal appeal line (60.89%), where a case becomes winnable.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $260,000 – $355,000, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,360 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $307,500 home should be assessed near $162,821.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,779 above what the ratio math suggests (22.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
