Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $270,610 – $334,695, 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 $293,285 home should be assessed near $271,201.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $66,301 below what the ratio math suggests (24.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%
Step 5 · The bill

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Ocean pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
