This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held virtually via the Zoom platform on Thursday, August 20, 2020.
The Appellant, Paula Reid, was present telephonically. Patti McLean, Assessor and IdaMae Jensen,
Representative, were also in attendance.
The Appellant testified as to a number of improvements that needed to be addressed when the subject
property was purchased in May 2018. The Appellant also testified that a considerable amount of effort and
cost were incurred to make the necessary improvements.
The Appellant also provided a fee appraisal which noted that no major improvements were needed and the
condition of the home was appraised as average.
The Assessor testified that the quality of the home, at the time of assessment on January 1, 2019, was
average/good. The Assessor also provided a grid showing the fee appraisal's comparable sales and noted
that two sales were bank owned properties.
The Assessor's grid also provided four additional comparable sales, which as adjusted ranged from
$348,625 to $452,241. The value of the subject property fell within this range.
The Board found the Appellant did not provide clear, cogent or convincing evidence to overrule the
Assessor's valuation.
Therefore, the Board sustains the total assessed value of the subject property at $375,090, the land at
$34,525 and the improvements at $340,565.
