The market value of a property is the amount that district believes your property could sell on 1st of January on open market.The appraised value is after exemption or with cap value,if you have a exemption.This means that even if your market value increases,your appraised value can only increase by 10% because of cap.

This means even if your property is worth more than its appraisal value,you may still get reduction under U & E analysis.
