This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Hackettstown's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $390,591 – $499,407, 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 $443,593 home should be assessed near $329,944.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $50,744 below what the ratio math suggests (15.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hackettstown home
$2.070 Schools · 60% $0.676 County · 19% $0.731 Town · 21%
This home's own bill implies $3.387 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
