Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $816,327 – $972,266, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
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 $904,128 home should be assessed near $852,141.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $127,259 above what the ratio math suggests (14.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $1,679/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
