The Board of Equalization held a hearing on April 18, 2023.
After reviewing all the information submitted, the Board concurred that the appellant did not present clear,
cogent, and convincing evidence necessary to overcome the presumptive correctness of the Assessor. The
Board of Equalization decided to adjust the Assessor's valuation of$581,930 by $68,670 which was the
Appellant's bid for extensive roof replacement that includes replacement of upper windows, venting and
insulation, as a cost to cure.
Chairman Gillette moved to overrule the Assessor's original valuation and make adjustment for the
previous stated cost to cure resulting in a net assessed value for the property of$513,260 ($370,000 for the
land and $143,260 for the improvements). Vice-Chair Taylor seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote. (See also minutes of April 18, 2023)
