Board of Equalization
Property Owner: Stephanie VanDyke
Parcel Number(s): 32021-53-04015
Assessment Year: 2025 Petition Number: 205.2026
Date(s) of Hearing: 4/9/2026
Having considered the evidence presented by the parties in this appeal, the Board hereby:

BOE True and Fair Value Determination
Land $ 25,680 Land $ 25,680
Improvements $ 721,205 Improvements $ 527,915
Minerals $ Minerals $
Personal Property $ Personal Property $
Total Value $ 746,885 Total Value $ 553,595
This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on 4/9/2026.
Stephanie VanDyke, Appellant, was not present at the hearing. Gabe Anderson, Appraiser, and Assessor
Patti McLean were present.
The Appellant provided four comparable sales, all of which were outside of the assessment year. She stated
in her petition that she had a realtor look at the subject property and she would sell it for the total value that
was placed on the subject property for 2025.
The Assessor presented four comparable sales in the correct time period that supported a lower value than
the Appellant desired. The Assessor created an Assessment Roll Correction and encouraged the Board to
overrule the original value and set the new value at the adjusted amount.
The Board found no clear, cogent, or convincing evidence that the Assessor was in error on the Assessment
Roll Correction.
Therefore, the Board sustains the value for the land at $25,680 and overrules the buildings/improvements at
$527,915 for a total of $553,595 for the subject parcel.
