Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $861,571 – $1,135,669, 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 $933,721 home should be assessed near $880,032.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $260,568 above what the ratio math suggests (29.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
