Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $493,651 – $624,347, from 12 comparable Hackettstown 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 Hackettstown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $549,211 home should be assessed near $408,503.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $71,103 below what the ratio math suggests (17.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackettstown home
$2.070 Schools · 60% $0.676 County · 19% $0.731 Town · 21%
