What I do not understand is how the assessor computes the market value on a new home. It does not seem to relate to what was paid for the home in my neighborhood. The assessments are less that what was paid. Anyone know the answer?
If I remember correctly, my RE agent told me
tax assessments are based on 85% of market value.
This was for property in Sumter county.
