These are 4 houses in Center Township, all located within the same neighborhood. Which one was accurately assessed? What does this say about the quality of the assessment done by the Center Township Assessor's office?

It says the assessment system needs to go along with unfair unequal property taxes. I know someone who paid a friend assessor to reassess his property. The result was used to appeal his property taxes. Now the properties are way lower than others of similar homes.
