Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $587,404 – $978,864, from 12 comparable Hackensack 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 Hackensack assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $832,314 home should be assessed near $620,740.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,040 below what the ratio math suggests (2.3%).
