        "text": "A property assessment focuses on evaluating the raw land's suitability and compliance with regulations for building or placing a tiny home, often occurring *before* construction or placement. It examines zoning, utilities, and site conditions. A home appraisal, conversely, determines the monetary value of an existing tiny home and its associated land, usually for financing, insurance, or sale purposes.
