A comparable ("comp") is a similar property used to show your assessment is too high relative to others nearby. Good comps share location (same neighborhood/township), property type, and size/features (square footage, age, condition). Commercial comps also weigh income, expenses, and vacancy. Appeals typically use three to five comps.
