The Fair Share Report

25 Jackson Ave

Hackensack, NJ 07458

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

≈ $858,353

Likely range $706,376 – $997,674, 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 $858,353 home should be assessed near $640,160.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$560,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,160 below what the ratio math suggests (12.5%).

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%
