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 & 12-301 ) .
Neither the Appellant nor the Assessor were present at the hearing on Thursday, April 25 , 2019 .
The Appellant submitted the following information on their petition. They estimated the true and fair value
of the property at $31 ,765 . Noting this estimate was based upon the "neighbor' s (Lot 5) property
appearance and his action. "
The Assessor submitted documentation on April 12, 2019, which was not within the 21 -business day time
frame as mandated by Washington State law. However, the Board did consider the information that was
presented by the Assessor.
The Assessor noted that due to the lack of utilities there was a 25 % reduction to the subject property.
The Assessor submitted three comparable sales all located within the subject' s immediate neighborhood.
All comparable sales were reasonably similar in size, easement access and all lacked utilities . The indicated
value range was $33 ,390 to $45 , 860 . The subject property' s value falls within this range.
The Board found no clear, cogent or convincing evidence that the Assessor' s valuation was in error and
sustains the value of the subject property at $ 36,525 .
