Parcel Number(s): 12220-50-81005
Assessment Year: 2016 Petition Number: 177.2017
Having considered the evidence presented by the parties in this appeal,the Board hereby:
® sustains ❑ overrules the determination of the assessor.
Assessor's True and Fair Value BOE True and Fair Value Determination
® Land $ 46,455 ® Land $ 46,455

❑ Minerals $ ❑ Minerals $
❑ Personal Property $ ❑ Personal Property $
TOTAL $ 155,265 TOTAL $ 155,265
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)].
f
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,Michael White,was in attendance at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by IdaMae
Ryen.
Mr. White noted the property has not declined in value and is currently assessed at$155,265. A review of
the historical valuation of the property indicates that in 2015 the property was assessed at$195,855. In
2016,the value was listed at$201,710. The Assessor's representative gave witness that market factors
resulted in this significant decline in market value for the subject area.
The Appellant did not provide clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that the Assessor was in error. f
l
Therefore,the Board supports the Assessor's determination of fair market value of$155,265 for the subject
parcel.

The Appellant, John McNeish,was in attendance at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by IdaMae
Ryen. '
The Appellant provided numerous comparable sales,which were not included in the Assessor's comparable
sales. The Board could not determine the land value versus total value of the comparable sales as provided
by the Appellant, and therefore focused on the land value of the four comparable sales as provided by the
Assessor.
On analyzing the land value of the four comparable sales,the Board determined that the fair market land
value of the subject property be $192,000.
The Appellant did not challenge the improvement value of$98,600.
