Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $202,916 – $257,715, 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 $237,397 home should be assessed near $177,051.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $8,251 below what the ratio math suggests (4.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
$1.457 Schools · 45% $0.291 County · 9% $1.460 Town · 46%
