Different numbers describe a home here on purpose. The assessment is the town's tax-cycle figure. The recorded sale is what buyers actually paid, shown for a window where the record is complete; the most recent years are still filling in as deeds record. Town numbers frame the market. They cannot price your house.

zoning districts govern what each lot can become

Zoning draws an invisible buildable envelope on every parcel: setbacks, coverage and height rules that decide what an addition, a second story or an accessory unit can be. Parts of many towns also sit inside wetland buffers and flood zones, where soil-disturbing projects get extra review before permits move.
