The Fair Share Report

1 Third Ave

Monroe, NJ 08831

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

≈ $575,576

Likely range $363,696 – $590,127, from 12 comparable Monroe sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.87%

The state's official measure of how far Monroe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $575,576 home should be assessed near $310,063.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$272,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $37,263 below what the ratio math suggests (12.0%).

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

$2.740 per $100 assessed

$1.535 Schools · 56% $0.608 County · 22% $0.596 Town · 22%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,840/yr
Public schools$4,394

Paying about right
