The Fair Share Report

7 Bauer Ave

Ocean, NJ 07755

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

≈ $898,181

Likely range $733,597 – $1,358,890, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

94.25%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $898,181 home should be assessed near $846,536.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,566,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $719,964 above what the ratio math suggests (85.0%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home

$1.319 per $100 assessed

$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%

This home's own bill implies $1.279 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$20,042/yr
Public schools$12,162
Monmouth County$3,401
Town of Ocean$4,479
Ocean average$12,291

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 $9,496/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
