Having considered the evidence presented by the parties in this appeal, the Board hereby :

❑ Minerals $ ❑ Minerals $
❑ Personal Property $ ❑ Personal Property $
TOTAL $ 6805590 TOTAL $ 6805590
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 45812-301 ) .
The Appellant, Thomas Pham, was not present at the hearing. IdaMae Jensen was in attendance
representing the Assessor.
The Board reviewed all the information submitted by the Appellant and the Assessor .
The Appellant submitted a fee appraisal. The fee appraisal set a value of $ 590,000 . It was noted, however,
that the appraisal did not include any adjustments for the salt water front footage.
The fee appraisal also included one comparable (comparable sale #4) that fronted on fresh water as opposed
to salt water. The Board discounted this comparable sale .
The Assessor testified that staff reviewed the subject property three times in 2017 on behalf of the previous
owner, and at that time made adjustments to the value due to the stream that often floods the property, as
well as for the condition of the home. As of January 1 , 2017, the Assessor adjusted the value to $ 680, 590
with $372, 180 for the land and $308 ,410 for the improvements .
The Assessor provided four comparable sales, one of which (comparable sale #4), was discounted by the
Board due to high gross and net adjustments . The three remaining comparable sales showed a range of
$632,978 to $ 706 , 697, which bracketed the value of the subject property at $680,590 .
Therefore, the Board sustains the total value at $680, 590 for the subject property.

The Appellant, Karl Myers, was present at the hearing . Steven Myers and Helen Myers were also present in
support of the Appellant. The Assessor' s representative IdaMae Jensen was present at the hearing.
The Appellant provided three comparable sales which were multiple parcel sales, which the Board could not
take into consideration. One additional sale which was substantially larger in size than the subject property
which the Board also discounted.
The Assessor provided seven comparable sales with a per acre value ranging from $ 12,000 per acre to
$ 175 ,000 per acre. The Assessor valued the subject property at $31 ,073 per acre. The subject property fell
within the dollars per acre range for all the comparable sales . Additionally, the trend line analysis indicates
that the property is valued in line with other buildable properties within its neighborhood. While the
neighboring property did sell for less than the subject ' s assessed value, it is a documented non-buildable
property due to the inability to percolate and limitations on septic use .
The Board did not find that the Appellant provided clear, cogent and convincing evidence to overrule the
assessed value .
Therefore, the Board sets the value of the subject property at $ 34, 180 .
