The Fair Share Report

40 Central Ave

Ocean, NJ 08758

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

≈ $358,042

Likely range $313,604 – $412,038, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.47%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $358,042 home should be assessed near $331,081.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$236,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $94,481 below what the ratio math suggests (28.5%).

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

$1.578 per $100 assessed

$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%

Step 5 · The bill

$3,734/yr
Public schools$1,687

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Ocean pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
