This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on 5/5/2026.
Laura Riordan, Appellant, was present at the hearing. Russ Milarch, Appraiser, and Assessor Patti McLean
were present.
The Appellant discussed the deterioration of her home and the repairs that are needed. The need to repair
the roof, siding, and outside shed were addressed in her petition. The bathroom improvements needed were
verbally presented.
The Assessor decremented the assessment of the subject property by $112,000 due to the condition of the
home. The Assessors office presented four comparable sales, all of which supported the subject propertys
assessment.
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 $96,500 and improvements at $403,355 for a total of
$499,855 for the subject parcel.
