Tax Assessor of Monroe

Although funded by the municipality, the assessor is under the jurisdiction of the County and State Division of Taxation; not Monroe Township.

This Assessor's office values all real property in the Township for the purpose of tax assessments. The office prepares the tax list, and maintains records of every parcel of assessed or exempt property in town. In addition, the Assessor's Office maintains an up-to-date Tax Map and records all changes to this map.

Property tax is the tax levied on the assessed value of all real estate, with the exception of those properties used for religious, educational, or charitable purposes. Approximately 11% of the land in Monroe Township is tax exempt, including the NJ Training School, part of Thompson Park, four small parks, churches and cemeteries. In addition, there is an exemption for those veterans that are 100% disabled and who received the disability due to a war time injury. The total assessed valuation of the Township's -industrial, commercial, residential, and farmland - is known as its "ratables.
