Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $586,593 – $714,684, 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 $658,773 home should be assessed near $491,313.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $39,413 below what the ratio math suggests (8.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
$1.457 Schools · 45% $0.291 County · 9% $1.460 Town · 46%
This home's own bill implies $3.154 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Hackensack sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Hackensack's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
