Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $565,042 – $641,555, from 12 comparable Monroe 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 Monroe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $593,548 home should be assessed near $319,744.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $48,144 below what the ratio math suggests (15.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Monroe home
$1.535 Schools · 56% $0.608 County · 22% $0.596 Town · 22%
Step 5 · The bill

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