Why did my assessed value change more than reported in sources like Zillow, etc?

Published rates usually encompass broad geographical areas and may include all types of properties. Your assessment is based on valid sales in your neighborhood that occurred between January 1 and December 31, 2019 (and in some cases, earlier). Those sales can be reviewed on the website.
