How does an appraiser value my property and why is the Assessors valuation lower than a fee appraisal?
The Assessor’s valuation may differ from a value estimate from a fee appraiser. Many reasons may explain the difference. One is that the Assessor’s “effective date of valuation” is a fixed time in the past. The effective date of valuation for the Assessor’s office for a given year is January 1 of the previous calendar year. A fee appraiser usually values a property as of a recent inspection date. Another reason is that recent legislation limits increases on the valuation for assessments on residential properties.
