The Fair Share Report

503 Riverside Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08844

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

≈ $751,901

Likely range $613,522 – $796,048, 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 $751,901 home should be assessed near $398,132.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$464,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $66,168 above what the ratio math suggests (16.6%).

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

$12,025/yr
Public schools$5,632
Ocean County$2,702
Town of Berkeley$3,691
Berkeley average$5,442

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Berkeley, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (60.89%).
