Period covered: 2024-09-01 – 2026-05-01. Non-arm's-length transfers and prices outside a plausible range are excluded, so these figures are lower than a raw record dump.

How to use this against your assessment

  1. 1. Find the value on your assessment notice, and your home's square footage (it's on the notice too).
  2. 2. Divide that value by your square footage. That is your assessed price per sq ft.
  3. 3. Compare it with your ZIP's figure in the table below — not the county figure, which mixes very different neighbourhoods.
  4. 4. If yours sits well above the local figure, that gap is what an appeal argues about. Whether it is worth filing is your call, and the number you put on the county form is yours to decide.

By ZIP code

ZIPs with at least 30 recorded sales in the period. Thin ZIPs are left out on purpose — a median from a handful of sales is noise, not information.

Filing is something you can do yourself — the county form is free and you do not have to buy anything. What most owners get stuck on is assembling the comparable sales as evidence.
