Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Va. Const. art. X, § 2: "All assessments of real estate and tangible personal property shall be at their fair market value, to be ascertained as prescribed by law." There is no classification and no ratio below full value, except the agricultural, horticultural, forest and open-space use-value deferral the same section authorises. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Court confirmation is primary clearing; quiet title if chain defects appear — common diligence in outer-DC title practice.
