The Fair Share Report

403 Bayview Ave

Berkeley, NJ 07001

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

≈ $357,267

Likely range $339,295 – $561,346, 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 $357,267 home should be assessed near $189,173.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$363,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $174,527 above what the ratio math suggests (92.3%).

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

$9,420/yr
Public schools$4,412
Ocean County$2,117
Town of Berkeley$2,891
Berkeley average$5,442

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (60.89%) — roughly $4,520/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
