This decision is based on our finding that :
The hearing was held virtually via Zoom on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 .
The Appellant, William Feist, was present. The Assessor was represented by IdaMae Jensen.
The Appellant questioned the methodology the Assessor used to value the subject property. The Appellant
also noted that land sales in the area were inconsistent with the value of the subject property as listed by the
Assessor' s Office .
The Appellant provided a sales grid delineating five waterfront property sales including the sales price and
relevant attributes for each property. The Appellant also compared adjustments to said properties by
percentages .
The Assessor provided a grid with adjusted land values using the Appellant ' s sales grid as noted above .
The adjusted values range from $ 50, 375 to $ 162, 935 .
The Assessor also submitted an Assessment Roll Correction suggesting a reduction in value from $ 116,265
to $ 105 , 025 for the subject property. The suggested value was based upon a re-inspection of the property
that revealed that the previous assessment was based on valuing the property as medium bank rather than
correctly valuing the property as high bank, therefore a reduction in value was warrrented.
The Board overrules the original value of $ 116,265 and sets the value of the subject property at $ 105 ,025 .
