ranged in value from $228 , 612 to $247,402 . The Assessor also testified that the sale of the subject property
was an arm ' s length transaction.
The Board considered the testimony of the Appellant and the fee appraisal and determined that the sale price
of the subject property reflected the true and fair market value .

$ 193 , 895 for the improvements for a total of $218 , 000 for the subject property.
