The Fair Share Report

5 Rustic Ct

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

≈ $1,353,515

Likely range $1,120,021 – $1,387,413, 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 $1,353,515 home should be assessed near $729,139.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$775,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,861 above what the ratio math suggests (6.3%).

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

$22,529/yr
Public schools$12,626
Middlesex County$5,001
Town of Monroe$4,902
Monroe average$9,247

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Monroe, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (61.95%).
