Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — RCW 84.40.030: "All property must be valued at one hundred percent of its true and fair value in money and assessed on the same basis unless specifically provided otherwise by law." RCW 84.41.030 requires annual revaluation of all taxable real property, with physical inspection at least once every six years. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
