Using tax assessment to make an offer

Hi BP, I am really new to this, and am considering making an offer on a duplex in my area. When figuring out how much to offer, can I use the tax assessment as a somewhat valid appraisal on the current value of the house before repairs?

 You're better off picking random numbers out of a hat.
