The Fair Share Report

243 Ross 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

≈ $505,698

Likely range $355,997 – $671,875, 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 $505,698 home should be assessed near $377,150.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$410,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,050 above what the ratio math suggests (8.8%).

$3.208 per $100 assessed

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