Why does the property down the street with all the land have a lower assessment than my property with less land?

For a smooth transition, all accounts will transfer to Stripe in segments and all users will be notified of this timeline. Your existing account and login credentials will function as expected.

Why does the property down the street with all the land have a lower assessment than my property with less land?
