ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Appellants: William and Colette Lopeman
Appeal No: BOE: 21-02-R
Parcel No: 901 101 011
Issue: Under appeal is the value of the residential property located at 10213 Rhody
Dr., Chimacum, WA. The Appellant values the property at$149,277 ($69,277 for the
land and $80,000 for the improvement/buildings). The Appraiser's valuation of the
property as of January 1, 2021 is $188,063 ($69,277 for the land and $118,786 for
the improvements).
Appellant's Argument and Evidence:The Appellant argues that the property
assessment does not take into consideration the fact the property would be difficult
to sell due to financial institutions reluctance to finance mobile homes
manufactured before 1978. The Appellant offered no supporting comparables or
evidence to support his belief that a potential buyer could not find financing to buy
the subject property if it were offered.
Assessor's Argument and Evidence:The Assessor's Representative presented three
comparable property valuations. The Representative further argued that the
comparables were representative of the current market. The Representative
stressed that while financing a sale of the property may be awkward, the value of
the property is correctly reflected in the County's appraisal.
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 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.
