Not a gnucash problem. The fact that your local jurisdiction sets an 
assessed value on your property for tax purposes has nothing to do with 
the (actual) market value of the property even if you were wanting to 
keep books on a "marked to market" basis. That is true even if your 
jurisdiction is supposed to be using "actual market value" << how they 
are choosing to figure that and how you would choose to figure that 
might not be the same >>
