What statistical data is critical in determining the necessity of a revaluation?

The necessity of a revaluation heavily relies on statistical data that accurately reflects the real estate market and assesses the fairness of property valuations. The weighted ratios and number of sales are critical because they provide a comprehensive view of market trends and property values.

Weighted ratios help in analyzing the relationship between assessed values and actual sale prices, allowing for a precise understanding of whether properties are overvalued or undervalued. The number of sales contributes to the reliability of this data; a higher number of transactions typically leads to a more robust analysis, as it enables assessors to establish patterns and draw conclusions about property valuations more effectively.

In contrast, while property age, zoning classifications, estimated property values, neighborhood assessments, sales prices, and owner equity can influence property values, they do not offer the same statistical clarity and direct relevance in determining the need for a revaluation as weighted ratios and number of sales do. These latter metrics provide insights critical to ensuring equity in property taxation based on current market conditions.
