<p>If you believe texas assessors are accurate, go for it. But try to sell a house for its assessment in a declining market and watch the laughs.</p>
<p>Of course I’m being sarcastic, but consider that tax assessment is a political compromise aimed balancing the need to raise property tax revenues with the need to keep from offending too many tax payers, compounded by the need to spend as little as can be spent. As a result, IMHO, the relationship between a Texas style “market value” assessment and true market value is accidental…</p>
