Assessed value vs. market value
The assessed value is the value the City of Williamsburg uses to figure your tax bill. Virginia law asks assessors to value property at fair market value.
Still, an assessment is a mass appraisal. It values every parcel as of one date, using sales and records.
Market value is what a buyer pays today. It depends on condition, updates and recent sales nearby. So a sale price can land above or below the assessment.
