ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Appellant(s): Karl & Sandra Jacobsen
Appeal No.: BOE 19-45-R
Parcel No.: 001 321 012
Issue
Under appeal is a single family residence located at 4372 South Discovery Road in Port
Townsend. The appellants assert the true and fair market value of the property to be $793,065
($283,015 for the land and $510,050 for the improvements). The Assessor's valuation of the
property as of January 1, 2019 is $914,343 ($303,080 for the land and $611,263 for all
improvements).
Appellants' Arguments and Evidence
The appellants state that the assessed value of the subject is "significantly higher than like
properties in the area". The appellants also believe that property valuation has increased at a
higher rate than market value. The appellants presented no documentation to support these
assertions nor did they offer any comparable property sales.
Assessor's Arguments and Evidence
The Assessor's Representative presented a cover sheet outlining comparable property similarities
and differences, a tax parcel map of the immediate area identifying the geographic proximity of
these comparable properties, a copy of the appraisal field worksheet for the subject property, and
the field sheets for the three comparable property sales. The comparable sales were all
waterfront, sold between June 2017 and July 2019 and ranged in price from $850,000 to
$1,600,000. All three comparable property sales sold for more than assessed value.
Decision
After thoughtful consideration the Board finds that the appellants did not present the clear,
cogent, and convincing evidence necessary to overcome the presumptive correctness of the value
established by the Assessor. The Board of Equalization sustains the value established by the
Assessor.
