Why does my assessed value differ from my bank mortgage appraisal or real estate appraisal?
Private appraisers, acting on behalf of financial institutions or agencies, evaluate property according to market conditions on the day they complete the appraisal. Municipal assessors determine the property values and conditions at set dates to ensure that all municipal assessments and subsequent taxation have a fair and equal base.
