The Fair Share Report

5 Horner St

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

≈ $659,431

Likely range $556,985 – $739,488, 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 $659,431 home should be assessed near $609,776.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$585,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,076 below what the ratio math suggests (3.9%).

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

$9,242/yr
Public schools$4,176

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.
