(62,444 posts)This story was posted this morning. The assessed value of property for tax purposes, and its market value, are often two different things. I haven't seen a follow up as to why this is unusual in this instance.

(35,387 posts)Perhaps "assessors"?
The assumption seems to be that if a person says two things that are at odds, one is necessarily true (for all times). And the one that is true is the one that we want to believe true.
Why can't the $50 million "this is what the property's worth" statement be the mistaken one? Perhaps the people banking on more money and disappointed they didn't get more just don't want to say they were imprudent.
