The Fair Share Report

55 Maple Ave

So Hackensack, NJ 07606

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

≈ $732,000

Likely range $500,000 – $785,000, from 5 comparable South Hackensack sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.39%

The state's official measure of how far South Hackensack assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $732,000 home should be assessed near $720,215.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$544,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $176,215 below what the ratio math suggests (24.5%).

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

$1.850 per $100 assessed

$0.808 Schools · 44% $0.229 County · 12% $0.814 Town · 44%

This home's own bill implies $1.764 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

$9,597/yr
Public schools$4,189
