This decision is based on our finding that:
The hearing was held on 5/26/2026.
FrederickKegel, Appellant, was present at the hearing. Caleb Cowles, Appraiser, and Assessor Patti
McLean were present.
The Appellant stated he objected to the sales approach he also stated that the floors were concrete and the
house was more that 50 years old. The cabin was unfinished, with some original 1953 fixtures.
The Assessor provided four comparable sales, all of which supported the value of the subject property.
The Board finds that the Appellant was undervaluing the subject property of two and a half acres with
uplands, tidelands, waterfront and a concrete bulkhead.
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 $302,380 and improvements at $400,420 for a total of
$702,800 for the subject parcel.
