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.
