Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $231,914 – $349,986, 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 $276,950 home should be assessed near $206,549.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $63,851 above what the ratio math suggests (30.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home

A touch high — worth watching
