Order of the Mason County
Board of Equalization
Property Owner: Kylie & Dylan Helser
Parcel Number(s): 42035-14-90080
Assessment Year: 2023 Petition Number: 458.2024
Date(s) of Hearing: 8/21/2024
Having considered the evidence presented by the parties in this appeal, the Board hereby:
❑ sustains ❑ overrules the determination of the assessor.
Assessor's True and Fair Value BOE True and Fair Value Determination
® Land $ 83,905 ® Land $ 83,905

Total Value $ 738,810 Total Value $ 684,935
This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on Wednesday, August 21, 2024.
Dylan Helser, Appellant, was present at the hearing. IdaMae Jensen, Assessor's Representative, and
Assessor Patti McLean were present.
The Appellant stated on his petition that he submitted a bank appraisal from Shapiro Home Valuation for a
refinance loan on 12/20/2022 in the amount of$610,000. This appraisal is significantly different from the
Assessor's value of$738,810 for the 2023 assessment year.
The Assessor provided two comparable sales grids supporting a reduction in value from $738,810 to
$684,935. One sales grid was the comparable sales used by the bank appraisal and the other sales grid
included three sales from the Assessor.
The Assessor did not include the first bank appraisal comparable sale, as it was determined to be an outlier
and was not in the same neighborhood as the subject parcel or other comparable sales. The average value of
all the comparable sales, excluding the outlier sale, is $685,030.
The Board chose the lower value recommended by the Assessor, which was reported as an assessment roll
correction, which the Appellant did not sign.
The Board found a preponderance of the evidence that the original assessed value was in error.
Therefore, the Board sustains the value for the land at $83,905 and overrules and sets the value for
improvements at $601,030 for a total of$684,935 for the subject parcel.
