This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on Thursday, September 19, 2024.
Madelyn Sandoz and Mason Bonner, Appellant, were not present at the hearing. Assessor Patti McLean
was present.
The Appellants are appealing the building/improvements on their property that they moved into in February
2023. They state that the current septic system should be replaced,per an inspection report from Bamford
Septic Repair, LLC. They also stated there is clear dilapidation of the home and the siding is showing signs
of aging and neglect. No evidence was provided to support the condition of the home. Four comparable
sales were provided.
The Assessor did not use the Appellant's comparable sales as they were older sales, and the homes were not
similar. There was no inspection report of the septic system. There is depreciation on the home and the
outbuildings which comes to just under$100,000.
The Assessor provided a sales grid with four comparable sales, one of which is the subject parcel sale on
2/21/2023. The values, as adjusted, ranged from $371,632 to $507,770. The value of the subject parcel
falls below 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 $ 87,675 and improvements at $254,015 for a total of
$341,690 for the subject parcel.

This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on Thursday, September 19, 2024.
Madelyn Sandoz and Mason Bonner, Appellant, were not present at the hearing. Assessor Patti McLean
was present.
The Appellants stated on their petition that this parcel is unimproved land and does not have easement to the
road. He states that it is fully wooded, on a hill, and would be very difficult to improve. It sits fully behind
the parcel that contains the Appellant's home. The Appellant stated that the subject parcel would not be
possible to sell to another buyer since there is no access to this lot from the road. He included four
comparable sales.
The Assessor stated the Appellant has access to the parcel since it is contiguous to the adjoining parcel.
The Assessor provided a Trend Line Analysis of ten undeveloped land sales ranging in value from $15,000
to $50,000. The value of the subject parcel 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 $22,110 and improvements at$2,500 for a total of
$24,610 for the subject parcel.
