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
[RCW84.40.0.30(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
84.40.03 0) and the Washington Administrative Code(WAC 45 8-12-3 0 1).
The Appellant was represented at the hearing by David Miller. The Assessor was represented by Mary
Newhall.
The issues that were part of the appellant's argument included the basis, from his perspective,that this was
an ann's-length transaction. A review of the facts clearly demonstrates this was not an arms-length
transaction. The data submitted by the appellant was not specific enough to allow the board to sustain the
appellant's request.
The Assessor's comparable sales were clear and convincing and therefore the Board overrules the original
assessed values and sets the values as recommended by the Assessor at$308,395 for improvements and the
land at $232,900 for a total of$541,295.

This decision is based on our fording that:
The valuation placed on the property by the Assessor's Office is presented to be correct, and can only be

[RCW84.40.030(1)].

for the purpose of uniformity and equalization of taxation within the county as defined by statute (RCW
84.40.03 0) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 458-12-3 0 1).
The Appellant was not present at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by Mary Newhall.
The board reviewed data submitted by the appellant and also the data supplied by the Assessor.
The Assessor submitted two comparable sales with two listings to support their recommendation. After
reviewing the two sales,the board felt the subject property should reflect a 20%additional value due to the
subject property being newer as it relates to the comparable sales only.
The board overrules the Assessor and sets a value of$44,000 for land and a value of$136,522 for
improvements for a total of$180,522.
