Hi Kevin,
Tough question to 100% pinpoint, It really varies town by town. Would depend on how often they are reassesing the values, what kind of valuation process they actually have. The tough part is that very rarely do cities actually do a physical inspection of the interior condition of a property(not is it even feasible). I mean you can look at a house that has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, on 3 acres of land that sells for 40% of its assessed value because the interior is a pit. Or a well kept little 1000 Sq. Foot ranch that sells for 110% of assessed value.
I hope that helps at least a little. Your best best is to look at what comparable properties have sold for in the last 6 months to come up with the "market" value of a home.
Happy Hunting,
Chris
