Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $326,383 – $385,275, 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 $346,209 home should be assessed near $205,890.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $43,990 below what the ratio math suggests (21.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Monroe home
$2.028 Schools · 54% $0.694 County · 18% $1.046 Town · 28%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Monroe sale · assessed ÷ market

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.
