The Fair Share Report

9 Walnut St

Ocean, NJ 08758

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

≈ $484,675

Likely range $447,142 – $497,312, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.47%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $484,675 home should be assessed near $448,179.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$344,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $103,779 below what the ratio math suggests (23.2%).

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

$1.578 per $100 assessed

$0.713 Schools · 45% $0.339 County · 21% $0.526 Town · 33%

This home's own bill implies $1.505 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,185/yr
Public schools$2,343
Ocean County$1,114
Town of Ocean$1,728

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.
