using county website - "estimated property value"

hi all, as i'm weeding out properties, i started adding a new tactic to estimate property value besides zillow, which i know isn't always accurate. 

i noticed that when i go to the county site that the property is located in, there is an "estimated property value", which rarely matches what zillow/redfin say. it's under a section called "tax year 2018 assessed value"

what should i make of this? is this a better way to estimate value?

thanks!
