The Fair Share Report

75 Yardarm Ct

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $290,089

Likely range $260,012 – $335,807, 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 $290,089 home should be assessed near $153,602.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$340,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $186,398 above what the ratio math suggests (121.4%).

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

$8,806/yr
Public schools$4,124

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
