The Board's goal is to acquire sufficient, accurate evidence to support a determination of true and fair value

84.40.030) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 458-12-301).

comparable sales submitted by the Assessor.

an inferior view.
The Board determined the assessed value for the land to be $81,000 and sustained the improvement value at
$185,995 for a total value of$266,995 for the subject parcel.

The Appellant, Callie Davis, was in attendance at the hearing. The Assessor's representative,Bruce Martin,
was also in attendance.
The Appellant submitted four comparable sales to support the estimate of value. A review of these
comparable sales indicated that two were not arm's length sales. The other two comparable sales supported
the assessed value.
Furthermore,the Assessor provided an analysis of four additional comparable sales which supported the
assessed value.
Therefore,the Appellant provided no clear, cogent, or convincing evidence that the assessed value was in
error.

The Board sustained the subject parcel's value at $300,060 for a breakdown of$58,800 for the land and
$241,260 for improvements.
