How do I know if my assessment is correct?
Comparing sales of similar properties within your neighborhood is a good way to determine if the value is reflective of the market. Market value is defined as the amount a typical, well-informed buyer would be willing to pay for a property under typical market conditions. It is the Assessor's job to interpret changes in the market place.
