If I bought my house last year, shouldn't the value be the same as what I paid for it a year ago?

The sale by itself doesn’t necessarily indicate market value. However, factors such as the date of sale versus the date of appraisal (which is January 1 of the tax year), other comparable sales within the subject neighborhood, etc., will be evaluated along with the sale of the property in making a final determination.
