Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $300,857 – $512,134, 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 $329,259 home should be assessed near $245,561.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $100,039 above what the ratio math suggests (40.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
