Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $829,031 – $933,338, 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 $856,584 home should be assessed near $792,083.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $160,817 above what the ratio math suggests (20.3%).
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

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
