Tax value is not market value.
One of the most common questions I hear is, “”My tax value says my home is worth $X. Is that what I could sell it for?”” Not necessarily!
Your county tax assessment is used to calculate property taxes and may not reflect current buyer demand, neighborhood changes, renovations, or recent sales. In some cases, a home’s market value may be significantly higher or lower than its tax value. If you’re curious about what your home might be worth in today’s market, looking at recent comparable sales is usually a much more accurate place to start.
