Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-283 requires all property to be appraised at its true value in money, which the statute defines as market value. There is no classification ratio and no county variation in the ratio itself — only in how recently it was measured. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Quitclaim Commissioner/county deed after confirmation; quiet title still commonly used for insurable title.
