Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $457,985 – $622,696, 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 $530,012 home should be assessed near $395,283.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $62,583 below what the ratio math suggests (15.8%).
