Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $730,657 – $1,406,027, 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 $930,434 home should be assessed near $876,934.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $94,666 above what the ratio math suggests (10.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ocean home
$0.801 Schools · 61% $0.224 County · 17% $0.295 Town · 22%
This home's own bill implies $1.174 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Ocean's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
