Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $395,774 – $499,220, 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 $456,366 home should be assessed near $340,358.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,542 above what the ratio math suggests (9.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
$1.457 Schools · 45% $0.291 County · 9% $1.460 Town · 46%

A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Hackensack, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (85.77%).
