The Petitioner was present and submitted two comparable sales with supporting documents. One sale after January 1,2013,was
considered as it reflected current market conditions.The petitioner indicated that his home has a room above the garage which
has no plumbing fixtures and is considered a storage room.
The Assessor provided four comparable sales. Two of the four sales were not in close proximity to the subject property.The
Assessor indicated the room above the garage was assessed as an apartment. The subject improvements reflect$13,000 reduction
in value for the room above the garage.
The Board gave greater consideration to the Assessor's comparable sales number one and number three and a more recent sale
provided by the Appellant. An adjustment was made for the lack of the apartment over the garage. The Board overruled the
Assessor's value and set the new value based on the information noted above.
