The Fair Share Report

577 Summit 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

≈ $1,198,620

Likely range $1,093,274 – $1,372,749, 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 $1,198,620 home should be assessed near $893,931.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,106,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $212,969 above what the ratio math suggests (23.8%).

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

$3.208 per $100 assessed

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Hackensack, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (85.77%).
