improvements for a total of $ 39,500 .

location.

valuation.
The Assessor submitted four comparable sales to support the assessed value for the land at $ 158 , 645 and the
improvements at a reduced value of $ 5 ,225 .
The Assessor submitted four vacant land sales on Phillip ' s Lake ranging from $ 145 ,000 to $223 ,000 . The
value of the subject property fell within this range.

documentation indicating otherwise .

The Appellant testified the subject property was purchased in May 2018 , five months after the date of
assessment, for $370,000 which included the adjacent parcel. However, the two sites are determined to be
independent building sites, which are valued separately and on their own merits.
The Board considered the 18 comparable sales submitted by the Appellant. Due to the sale dates of the
comparable sales , location of the properties, and other non-qualifying factors, the Board did not give
significant weight to these comparable sales .
The Assessor provided a sales grid of five comparable properties . All comparable sales are located along
US Highway 101 . The sales ranged in value from $ 347,205 to $434, 360 . The assessed value of the subject
property fell within this range.
