Distribution: * Assessor * Petitioner * BOE File FORM REV 64 0058 (5/25/2017) ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Appellants: Terri Wardrop, James Salter, Diane Bloom Appeal No: BOE: 21-31-R Parcel No: 989 200 006 Issue: Under appeal is the value of the land only located at 440 35th Sreet, Port Townsend, Washington. The Appellants value the property at$318,000 ($121,000 for the land and $197,000 for the Improvements/Buildings). The Appraiser's valuation of the property as of January 1, 2021 is $392,791 ($121,000 for the land and $271,791 for Improvements/Buildings). Appellant's Argument and Evidence: The Appellant's stated that the property assessment is based on the Assessors inspection of the exterior of the house only. The Appellants provided photographic evidence to document the fact that the house was incomplete in many trim and finish details. The Appellants felt that as a result of the incomplete nature of the house the appraisal should be reduced by 20 percent. The Appellants provided no documentary evidence of the cost to bring the house the house up to completed status, or comparable house sales to contradict the Assessors assessment. Assessor's Argument and Evidence: The Assessor's Representative presented three comparable property sales. The Representative explained fair market value of real estate in Jefferson County had risen as evidenced in his comparables, and that the level of completeness was factored in. 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 present clear evidence to overcome the presumptive correctness of the value established by the Assessor. The Board of Equalization overturns the Assessor's determined value of $271,791 for the Improvements/Buildings. The new valuation is $244,612. The land value remains at $121,000. Total property value: $365,612. Jefferson County Board of Equalization Board Clerk's Record of Hearing Petition No: BOE 21-31-R Taxpayer's Name: Terri M. Wardrop, James M.
