The Fair Share Report

395 Kaplan 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

≈ $290,000

Likely range $279,846 – $566,520, 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 $290,000 home should be assessed near $216,282.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$319,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $102,818 above what the ratio math suggests (47.5%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home

$3.208 per $100 assessed
