Parcel Number(s): 22113-14-70860
Assessment Year: 2017 Petition Number: 115.2018

Assessor's True and Fair Value BOE True and Fair Value Determination
® Land $ 43,315 ® Land $ 43,315
❑ Improvements $ ❑ Improvements $
❑ Minerals $ ❑ Minerals $
❑ Personal Property $ ❑ Personal Property $
TOTAL $ 43,315 TOTAL $ 43,315
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 458-12-301).
The Owner/Appellant, The Campbell Family Partnership, was represented by Judith Judd, Alexis Meyer,
and Margaret Campbell. The Assessor was represented by IdaMae Jensen and Tom Gibbons.
The Appellant provided the assessments of neighboring properties. They also indicated that their tidelands
were not commercially viable. The Appellant also questioned the methodology the Assessor used in
determining value per lineal feet.
The Assessor provided four charts indicating that tidelands do add value to the property. Furthermore,past
sales supported the assessed value of$125 per lineal foot of the subject parcel. The Assessor also indicated
that commercial viability is not considered in the assessment of tideland property.
The Assessor provided data indicating that the assessed value of$125 per lineal front foot fell below the
trend line analysis for four tideland-only sales between 2008 and 2016.
The Appellant did not provide clear, cogent and convincing evidence to overrule the Assessor's valuation of
$43,315. Therefore, the Board sustains the assessed value of$43,315 for the subject parcel.
