Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $664,814 – $958,066, 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 $907,543 home should be assessed near $676,846.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $92,546 below what the ratio math suggests (13.7%).
