This decision is based on our finding that:
The valuation placed on the property by the Assessor's Office is presimied to be correct, and can only be
overcome by the presentation of clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that the value is erroneous
[1-- CW84.40.030(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 458-12-301).
The Appellant was not present at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by Mary Newhall.
The appraisal that the Appellant submitted in the amount of$550,000 is not applicable due to testimony
from the Assessor that the parcel was not included in the appraisal.
There was no evidence presented by the appellant that would support the estimate of true and fair value.
The Board sustains the assessed value for the land at$131,725 and the value for the improvements at
$51,360 for a total of$183,085.

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 oficlear, 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 unifon-nity and equalization of taxation within the county as defused by statute (RCW
84.40.030) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 458-12-301).
The Appellant, Stephen Johnson,was not present at the hearing. The Assessor,was represented by Mary
Newhall.
The only evidence provided by the Appellant was a fee appraisal which was five years old, which indicated
an opinion of a market value of$550,000. The Board reviewed the fee appraisal and found discrepancies in
the total square footage for all dwellings as compared to the same square footage for all dwellings provided
by the Assessor.
The Appellant failed to provide clear, cogent and convincing evidence that the assessed value was in error.
The Assessor provided three comparable sales that supported the value of$72,535 for land and$455,105
for improvements for a total of$527,640.
The Board therefore sustains the Assessor's value of$527,640.
