Distribution: * Assessor * Petitioner * BOE File FORM REV 64 0058(5/25/2017) ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Appellants: Ryan E. and Marcie L. Lammers Appeal No: BOE: 21-23-LO Parcel No: 901 112 052 Issue: Under appeal is the value of the land only located at 10214 Rhody Dr., Chimacum, WA. The Appellant values the property at$50,985. The Appraiser's valuation of the property as of January 1, 2021 is $74,978. Appellant's Argument and Evidence:The Appellant's stated that the property assessment is based solely on the purchase price and is far above the percentage value of recently sold properties in the neighborhood. The Appellant's presented numerous documents to support their case. The Appellant's stated the purchase price wasn't what the property is worth, but it is what they paid for it. The purchase price was negotiated with a reluctant seller as part of a package deal. The Appellant's further stated that the poor condition of the property was unknown to them at the time of purchase and was not reflected in the assessor's appraisal. The Appellant's stated they had suspended their exercise of due diligence in order to facilitate a quick sale. Assessor's Argument and Evidence:The Assessor's Representative presented three comparable property valuations. The Representative explained that he must establish market value as equal to the sales price arrived at as the result of an arm's length transaction between an independent buyer and an independent seller. The appraisal value must equal the market value. In light of the purchase price of $110,000 being established six months after the January 1 appraisal date, a reduction to $99,000 due to trending price hikes would still value the property well above the assessed value. 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.
