Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $350,320 – $439,129, 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 $385,000 home should be assessed near $207,400.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $85,601 above what the ratio math suggests (41.3%).
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

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (61.95%) — roughly $2,345/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
