Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $378,703 – $600,378, 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 $417,646 home should be assessed near $224,986.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $100,714 above what the ratio math suggests (44.8%).
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

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%).
