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, Timothy&Diane Hoosier,were not present at the hearing. The Assessor was represented
by IdaMae Ryen and Tom Gibbons.
The Appellant provided a narrative noting the odor from the nearby marijuana farm was detrimental to the
value of the property.
The Assessor provided five comparable sales all within the Sells neighborhood which sold during 2015-
2016. The subject property was purchased in 2014 as a forced sale at$350,000. The Appellant indicated a
fee appraisal, for the subject property,had been performed in March 2014 for$395,000.
The Board determined that no clear, cogent and convincing evidence was presented to overrule the
Assessor's valuation. j
