The Fair Share Report

19 First 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

≈ $404,500

Likely range $318,566 – $594,004, 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 $404,500 home should be assessed near $217,904.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$260,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,396 above what the ratio math suggests (19.5%).

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

$7,481/yr
Public schools$4,193
Middlesex County$1,661
Town of Monroe$1,628
Monroe average$9,247

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.
