Evidence to review
- Read the Assessor's property card first, especially its building area, construction year, class, and count of residential structures.
- For frame, brick, and stucco homes of similar age, check whether additions or finished space make an apparent comparison less alike.
- Give the most weight to recent recorded sales in the same assessment neighborhood with comparable lots and building styles.
- Pair dated condition photographs with estimates or inspection notes when the public record does not describe a material defect.
To check property facts on the county map, follow our CookViewer property comparison walkthrough. Keep assessment values separate from recorded sale prices.
