Full origin of assessed →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between assessed value and market value?
Market value is what a property would actually sell for today. Assessed value is the figure a tax authority puts on it for calculating property tax, and it is often lower and updated only every few years, so the two rarely match.
What is the difference between assessed and evaluated?
They overlap heavily. Assessed leans towards measuring or rating something against a standard, as with an exam or a tax bill. Evaluated leans towards judging overall worth or effectiveness, as with a programme or a job applicant.
