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,Daniel J. Trudeau,was present at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by Oliver
Querin.
The Appellant estimated the land value at$40,000, but provided no market data to support this estimate of
value.
The Assessor provided three comparable sales which averaged$59,317. In determining the market value
the Assessor decreased the subject parcel by 25% or$15,245 from the base value,reflecting no utilities
available at the site.
Therefore,the Board sustained the assessed value of$45,735 for the subject parcel.

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 the 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 was represented by Maria Fletcher at the hearing. The Assessor's representative, Bruce
Martin, was in attendance at the hearing.
The Appellant submitted numerous comparable sales provided by a real estate agent, which the Board felt
were not comparable to the subject property.
The Assessor provided an amended assessed value of$101,007, which included a 25% discount for the
stream on the subject parcel. From this amount,the Board subtracted an estimated$15,000 for the"cost to
cure" sewer hook-up fee.
The Board therefore overruled the Assessor's adjusted value and set the land value at $86,007 for the
subject parcel.

The Appellant, Pete Mathews,was not present at the hearing. The Assessor was represented by Oliver
Querin, and was in attendance at the hearing.
The Appellant presented a letter attached to their petition indicating there was a question as to the
deterioration of the existing bulkhead and indicated an opinion that the cost to repair the bulkhead was
$40,000. No documentation was provided to substantiate the estimate, nor were there photographs
submitted. It was noted the Appellant indicated they had installed a new drainfield for approximately
$15,000 which did not diminish the value of the property,in the Board's opinion.
Therefore the Appellant provided no clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that the Assessor's value was
in error.
The Board sustains the assessed value of$403,355 for the subject parcel.
