The Fair Share Report

247 Fairmount 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

≈ $772,180

Likely range $734,656 – $923,363, 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 $772,180 home should be assessed near $575,892.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$520,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $55,892 below what the ratio math suggests (9.7%).

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%
