The Fair Share Report

71 Forge St

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

≈ $381,506

Likely range $349,379 – $472,675, 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 $381,506 home should be assessed near $205,517.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$293,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,783 above what the ratio math suggests (42.7%).

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

$8,761/yr

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
