The Fair Share Report

22 Willow Ave

Hackensack, NJ 07601

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $292,963

Likely range $267,692 – $307,885, from 12 comparable Hackensack sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.58%

The state's official measure of how far Hackensack assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $292,963 home should be assessed near $218,492.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$286,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $67,908 above what the ratio math suggests (31.1%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home

$3.208 per $100 assessed

$1.457 Schools · 45% $0.291 County · 9% $1.460 Town · 46%

This home's own bill implies $3.122 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,941/yr
Public schools$4,061
Bergen County$811
Town of Hackensack$4,069
Hackensack average$10,305

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
