The Fair Share Report

94 Applegate Ave

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

≈ $442,769

Likely range $372,842 – $583,528, 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 $442,769 home should be assessed near $238,520.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$325,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $86,880 above what the ratio math suggests (36.4%).

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

$9,352/yr
Public schools$5,241
Middlesex County$2,076
Town of Monroe$2,035
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%).
