Country Place Sales in 2025

We received our updated appraisal from Smith County yesterday. It’s up almost 5% from last year, but still below what we believe is the current market value, so we probably won’t protest.

The district uses sales from the prior year to build its algorithm, so if you’re interested in seeing those sales, here’s the link: CountryPlcSales-2025

Obviously, there can be a wide variance between a home on 1 acre and one on 31 acres, or between a home with major updates and one with none. But if you think your new appraisal is unrealistic, this list may help you decide whether a protest is warranted.

Here is the CMA, which may be useful once you’ve identified the most relevant comparables. The 31-acre property is not included here so the list is more focused.

If you decide to protest, SCAD has pretty specific instructions on their website.
