Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $569,011 – $936,044, 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 $666,876 home should be assessed near $497,356.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $102,644 above what the ratio math suggests (20.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackensack home
