Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $323,394 – $432,400, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,128 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $374,379 home should be assessed near $346,188.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,388 below what the ratio math suggests (5.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
This home's own bill implies $1.502 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Ocean's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
