The Fair Share Report

2003 Mcdowell Rd

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

≈ $753,406

Likely range $674,270 – $764,922, 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 $753,406 home should be assessed near $405,860.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$395,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,260 below what the ratio math suggests (2.5%).

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

$11,370/yr

Paying about right
