ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Appellants: Anna Bachmann
Appeal No: BOE 20-15-R
Parcel No: 948 302 209
Issue: Under appeal is the value of the residential property located at 1644 Landes St,
Port Townsend. The appellant values the property at $219,937 ($95,737 for the land and
$124,200 for the improvement). The Appraiser's valuation as of January 1, 2020 is
$240,335 ($103,715 for the land and $136,620 for the improvements).
Appellant's Argument and Evidence: The appellant argues that the property tax has risen
too fast over the past year. The appellant argued that her property suffers from a failing
foundation. The appellant feels that in its present condition, her house could not sell for
the assessed value. The appellant offered, in support of her argument, three comparable
sales ranging from $160,500 to $211,440; none newer then 2018.
Assessor's Argument and Evidence: The Assessor's Representative presented two
comparable property sales. He argued that his comparables were more representative of
the current market. The Assessor's representative further noted that no current estimate of
repair costs was provided.
Decision: The law requires that the Board of Equalization presume the Assessor's
valuation to be correct unless the appellant presents clear, cogent and convincing
evidence to the contrary. After consideration the Board finds the appellant did not present
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.
