What Newton County's 2026 certified roll shows
Added up, these homes are appraised $16 million above the typical value of the similar homes they were compared with.
We could not find 5 similar homes for the other 3,413 homes on the roll (an unusual size or age, or a rural home), so they are not part of the percentage.
These counts cover single-family homes only. Every county has some homes above similar homes and some below, so this is not proof the whole county is over-appraised.
