Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $557,590 – $679,377, 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 $626,895 home should be assessed near $467,538.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,738 below what the ratio math suggests (6.4%).
