What it means
In plain terms: your home is assessed higher than comparable nearby homes, which means your annual property tax bill is likely higher than it should be. You have the right to challenge it.
Two independent signals point to overassessment: your property's just value is higher per square foot than comparable homes nearby, and it was assessed above what you paid for it in 2025. That combination is strong evidence to bring to a Value Adjustment Board hearing.
