Land$ 90,740 Land $ 90,740
Improvements$ 87,580 Improvements $ 6,310
Minerals$ Minerals $
Personal Property $ Personal Property $
Total Value$ 178,320 Total Value$ 157,050
This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on 2/17/2026.
R.Edward Thomson, Appellant, was present at the hearing. Elizabeth Zigler, Appraiser, and Assessor Patti
McLean were present.
The Appellant stated that his buildings/improvements on the property are not finished and that the majority
of the building does not have utilities. He further stated that his siding materials are T1-11 and one portion
of the building’s exterior cover over the back gable is hardware cloth, and that one of his door openings is
blocked with plywood.
The Assessor stated that the buildings/improvement have been added back to the property due to an
administrative error.
Substantial portions of the building remain unfinished; therefore, the Board feels it is valued too high.
Therefore, the Board sustains the value for the land at $90,740 and overrules the value of the improvements,
setting the new value at $66,310, for a new total of $157,050 for the subject parcel.
