Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $771,804 – $1,350,851, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,276 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 $1,234,098 home should be assessed near $1,163,137.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $423,937 below what the ratio math suggests (36.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
This home's own bill implies $1.227 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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.
