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 a preponderance of 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 45842-301 ) .
The Appellant was represented by Everett & Irene Goldsby. The Assessor was represented by IdaMae
Jensen.
The Appellant testified that the subject property had increased in value from $ 14, 175 in 2016 to the 2017
assessed value of $40,200 . The Appellant questioned as to why the subject property had increased in value
over the last 6 years and the adjoining properties had decreased.
However, the Appellants did not provide a preponderance of evidence to overrule the Assessor' s valuation.
The Assessor reduced the original valuation by 45 % from $40,200 to a recommended value of $22, 110,
based upon the fact that the property was low and wet with no access . The Assessor also provided 3
comparable sales from $49, 615 to $27, 711 . The value of the subject property fell below this range.
Therefore, the board sustains the Assessor ' s recommended adjusted value of $22, 1100
