that his next-door neighbor's property sold for$450,000.
The Assessor explained the difference between assessed value and market value. The Assessor explained
the process of mass appraisal which is used in Mason County.
The Assessor provided four comparable sales ranging, as adjusted, from $535,850 to $597,312. The subject
property falls within this range.
The Board found no clear, cogent, or convincing evidence that the Assessor was in error.
Therefore, the Board sustains the value for the land at $ 78,415 and improvements at $476,445 for a total of
$554,860 for the subject parcel.
