It is calculated by multiplying the property&#8217;s fair market value by the assessment rate, a percentage set by the local government.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"tax-assessment-meaning\">Assessed home value determines property taxes for local services and initiatives. Being that it&#8217;s crucial to understand that it directly affects your tax and financial planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Does It Matter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The assessed value matters to homeowners primarily for property taxes. That is it decides how much you&#8217;ll owe in property taxes each year. If your property&#8217;s assessed value goes up, your tax bill increases as well.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"tax-assessed-value-vs-market-value\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/assessed-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assessed value<\/a> is a vital part of governments to fund public services and infrastructure. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/property-tax\/\">Property taxes<\/a> are defined by assessed home values and are used to fund schools, roads, safety, and also community services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Calculate the Assessed Value of a Property?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"%\">Local tax assessors typically define the assessed value by an assessment ratio, i.e. a fraction of the property&#8217;s market value. The ratio varies by location and is often around 80% or 90%.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"assessed-value-of-home\">Assessed value can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/assessed-value\/#what-is-assessed-home-value-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calculated<\/a> when the assessment ratio is multiplied by the property&#8217;s market value. For example, if your home&#8217;s market value is $200,000, and the assessment ratio is 90%, the home assessment value would be $180,000.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local exemptions, like age, disability, veteran status, or functional deductions, like those for solar panels, lower tax assessed home value. You can find this information on the government websites or also contact the tax assessor&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"margin-top-28 wp-block-heading\" id=\"fair-market-value\"><strong>What Is Fair Market Value (FMV)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/what-is-fair-market-value-and-how-to-find-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fair market value<\/a> (FMV) is the estimated selling price of a property in an open and competitive real estate market. It takes into consideration current economic situations such as unemployment, inflation, interest rates, or a recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location, property condition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/real-estate-comps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comparable sales<\/a> (comps), and all-around supply and demand in the real estate market also affect market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Does It Matter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Market value is crucial for you when you buy or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/selling-a-house\/\">sell a home<\/a>. It sets prices, guides fair offers for buyers, and competitive listing prices for sellers. It also influences property equity and your current financial decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When property values go up, the government can charge higher property taxes. Since the assessed value is tied to market value, the tax load is spread equally and property taxes are fair for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Determine the Fair Market Value?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research recent sales of nearby properties with similar features, like size, layout, age, and condition. Comps from recent sales also help establish a value baseline. It considers the sale price in addition to the time on the market for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/blog\/real-estate-housing-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">market trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, you need to factor in your property&#8217;s condition and location, renovations, and closeness to amenities, schools, and transportation. Considering these factors and consulting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzeo.com\/pros\">experts<\/a> also helps calculate your fair market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"margin-top-15 wp-block-heading\"><strong>Calculate the FMV by Square Footage (sq\/ft)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<style>\n        .inputMainDiv {\n            display: inline-flex;\n        }\n        .inputMainDiv {\n            display: inline-flex;\n            text-align: center;\n        }\n        .inputFields input {\n            width: 80%;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n\n<ul class=\"check-minus-content-list\" style=\"background-color: #FDFDFD;
