What is the difference between assessed value and taxable value?
Assessed value is 50% of market value, while taxable value (used to levy property taxes) is, in most cases, less than that. However, when a property is transferred or sold, the taxable value of a property is "uncapped," or becomes equal to the assessed value, for the year following the year in which the sale or transfer took place.
