Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $464,942 – $661,952, 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 $587,639 home should be assessed near $438,261.
