This decision is based on our finding that:
The valuation placed on the property by the Assessor's Office is presumed to be correct, and can only be
overcome by the presentation of clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that the value is erroneous
[RCW84.40.030(1)].
The Board's goal is to acquire sufficient, accurate evidence to support a determination of true and fair value
for the purpose of uniformity and equalization of taxation within the county as defined by statute (RCW
84.40.030) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 45 8-12-3 0 1).
The appellant was not present at the hearing. The assessor was represented by Mary Newhall and Oliver
Querin.
The board reviewed the petition submitted by the appellant. The petition noted that the appellant purchased
the parcel in August 2013 for a purchase price of$376,000. The appellant indicated the parcel was
appraised in August 2014 at$381,000, due to a refinance. A copy of the appraisal document used to
refinance the parcel was not provided.
The assessor provided four comparable sales with a value range of$376,000 to $682,105. The assessor
noted this parcel is located in the revaluation area that was physically inspected. There were discrepancies
in the assessed value that had been used in previous years and the previous value was disregarded. The
assessor corrected the past discrepancies.
The board therefore sustained the assessed value of the land at $325,265 and the improvement value at
$124,880 for a total of$450,145.
