Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $462,733 – $592,724, 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 $522,986 home should be assessed near $390,043.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $76,643 below what the ratio math suggests (19.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
$1.457 Schools · 45% $0.291 County · 9% $1.460 Town · 46%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Hackensack sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
