The role of the WOZ Value
The WOZ value, set by the municipality, also plays a role in the valuation. However, this value may differ from the current market value, as the WOZ value is based on a general appraisal by the municipality. Would you like a fair WOZ? Then, too, you’ve come to the right place at VLIEG.

The WOZ value may differ from the market value, which is determined by current supply and demand in the real estate market. Market value is often a more accurate reflection of what your home is actually worth.
