ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Appellant: Hailian Zhou
Appeal No.: BOE 21-28-R
Parcel No.: 994 300 025
Issue: Under appeal is the value of the residential property located at 2249 W. Rosecrans
Ct., Port Townsend, WA. The Appellant values the property at$320,000 ($60,000 for the
land and $260,000 for the improvement/buildings). The Appraiser's valuation of the
property as of January 1, 2021 is $345,252 ($60,000 for the land and $284,502 for the
improvements/buildings).
Appellant's Argument and Evidence: The Appellant argues that the property assessment
does not account for the fact her property is a single-story home compared to two story
housed on either side of her. The Appellant feels the two-story houses are worth more
that hers. The Appellant says her foundation is cracked, her driveway is cracked and her
house has some inconvenient feature inside. The Appellant offered no documentary
evidence to suggest how much the problems might influence the property value.No
comparables were put forward to suggest her house was unfairly valued.
Assessor's Argument and Evidence: The Assessor's Representative presented three
comparable property valuations and his appraisal work sheet. The comparable sales
ranged from $320,000 to $413,000 and dated from July 16, 2018 to September 8, 2021.
The Representative argued that the comparables were representative of the current
market.
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.
