property tax assessment

Real estate appraisal

A property tax assessment is an official estimate of a property's value for taxation purposes.

Local governments conduct assessments to determine how much property tax an owner owes.

The assessed value may differ from market value depending on jurisdiction: Our assessment came in lower than what we paid for the house.

Property owners can often appeal assessments they consider inaccurate.
