This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on 5/19/2026.
Judi Victor,Appellant, was not present at the hearing. Russ Milarch, Appraiser, and Assessor Patti McLean
were present.
The Appellant stated in her petition,”I've been watching the market for the last twoyears of waterfront
properties. Most are on the market forextended periods of time and usually have a considerable price drop
before completing the sale.My property will not be considered ideal if I ever decide to sell due to the
following: My neighbors and I have to share a driveway, drain field and bulkhead. I have done nothing to
the home/bldg. for improvements, yet my land goes down but my bldg. has increased over 78,000 this year.
Since 2022 my value has more than doubled. I'm also not low bank I'm at the same elevation as 211 SE
Totten Shores which was listed as medium bank and also had to reduce their listing twice to find a buyer
after 2+ months.”
The Assessor provided four comparable sales that did not support the original assessed value and offered an
Assessment Roll Correction.
The Board found no clear, cogent, or convincing evidence that the Assessor was in error.
Therefore, the Board overrules the value and sets the new value for the land at $206,330 and improvements
at $930,295 for a total of $1,136,625 for the subject parcel.
