@Keith Motola Welcome to BP!

As it stands the tax appraisal means nothing and so does the Zillow estimate. You need to run property comps in that area and get your ARV. Best idea would be to contact a RE agent and ask if he can run the comps for you(it's always good to have an agent on your side) if you can't find real data to calculate the ARV yourself.

Best of luck.
