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 Appellant, Jordan McCann was present. The Assessor was represented by Tom Gibbons and IdaMae
Jensen. Oliver Querin from the Assessor's office was also present but only to observe.
The Appellant submitted 3 comparable sales which were given little weight due to high adjustments
assigned by the Assessor.
The Appellant also indicated that they paid $477,000 for the property on June 7, 2017. The Appellant noted
this was a private sale for the subject property. She also presented a fee appraisal orally as it was not
submitted in a timely fashion prior to the hearing. The fee appraisal came in at $424,000 which was low
because it did not take into account the front foot value of the low bank waterfront. Rather the fee appraiser
used a site value per acre.
The Assessor presented 4 comparable sales with an indicated value range from $512,184 to $642,895. The
value of the subject property at $554,850 fell within this range.
The board found the Appellant did not provide clear, cogent and convincing evidence to overrule the
Assessors valuation.
Therefore, the board sustains the total value at$554,850 for the subject property.
