🏡 What is a Property Assessment? 🏡

Thinking about buying or selling a home? Understanding property assessments is key! 🏠✨

A property assessment is an evaluation of your home’s value, conducted by your local government.

This value helps determine your property taxes and ensures they’re fair and accurate. It’s not the same as a market appraisal but gives you a snapshot of your home’s worth for tax purposes. 💰📝
