Lathan Appellant(if different) Property Address 213 E. Franklin Street, Parcel ID or Abstract 9788474898.003 Unit 101 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the fact that this unit is a basement level condominium with no recent updates or renovations. Current Assessed Value $627,800 County Opinion $565,000 Time of Hearin 2:48 PM Appellant Opinion $550,000 County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $565,000 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • Per the appellant's appeal,"Thank you for your value change notice. We appreciate you taking the time to review. However,we still feel that the unit is overvalued at$627,800.We bought the unit in 2020 for$440,000 and while there have been a few very high sales per square foot in the building in the past few years since then,we do believe that this particular unit would not Docusign Envelope ID:81DCF4B5-OD6D-4EAF-994D-356E93E6384C sell at that price and cannot be compared. This unit is at semi-basement level, and it has not been refurbished since the building was converted to condos around 2005.We are open to a site visit to show you the unit." Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject is a basement level condominium in the 8-unit building complex known as 213 E. Franklin Street Condominiums. At the informal appeal,the subject's grade was lowered from AA25 to AA10 to reflect the unit being a basement level condo. All of the other units have an AA25 grade reflecting being above grade units with better overall utility and appeal. • A site inspection was performed on May 30,2025 in which the appraiser gained access to the interior of the subject. It was noted that there was some functional depreciation present in the floor plan in which access to either of the unit's two bathrooms is through either of the unit's two bedrooms. For this reason,the appraiser feels an additional 10%functional depreciation for the layout of the unit is warranted. • Location Map of the Subject • Photograph of the Subject • Current Property Record Card of Subject • Proposed Property Record Card of Subject Motion of the Board Accept the Coun 's revised value of$565,000 Made the motion Sara Salvi Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For Leon Meyers Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Marsha Tinnen Appellant if different Property Address 206 Eubanks Road Parcel ID or Abstract 19860974230 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the value of a comparable property. Current Assessed Value $257,500 County Opinion $252,700 Time of Hearin 2:59 PM Appellant Opinion $110,000 County Representative Bill Hiltbold Board Decision $252,700 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • Please compare this property to 8031 Sandberg Lane. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • There were no sales in the subject neighborhood during 2023 and 2024. 1 used Comper to search out 4 miles from the subject property to find manufactured home sales as shown on the attached spreadsheet. The orange row denotes the subject property and the blue row the Docusign Envelope ID:81DCF4B5-OD6D-4EAF-994D-356E93E6384C comparable presented. The comparable 8031 Sandberg Ln, (2052 sf) is almost twice the size of the subject(1104 sf) and has a higher land value. We must consider manufactured homes near the square footage of the subject.Notice the boxed area on the spreadsheet.Within this range the building value per square foot ranges from$51 to $92 per square foot of living area with the subject at$82. • I added the deck to the sketch and adjusted the effective year built of the double wide manufactured home. • Photograph of the Subject • Spreadsheet of Manufactured Home Sales • Current Property Record Card of Subject • Proposed Property Record Card of Subject Motion of the Board Accept the Coun 's revised value of$252,700 Made the motion Saru Salvi Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For Leon Meyers Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner N/A Appellant if different N/A Property Address Neighborhood 6306 Parcel ID or Abstract N/A Chestnut Oaks Statement of Appeal: Request to adjust the AC-9 land pricing to$110,000 along with any other necessary land adjustments to all the properties in NBC 6306. Current Assessed Value $125,000 for 1 County Opinion $110,000 for 1 acre using the acre using the AC-9 pricing model AC-9 pricing model Time of Hearin 3:09 PM Appellant Opinion N/A County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $110,000 for 1 acre using the AC-9 pricin model Evidence submitted by the appellant: N/A Evidence submitted by the county representative: • 1 reviewed the sale of 2514 Gemena Road,a Habitat home that sold for$300,000 in November 2024. It turns out the home contained 1,152 square feet instead of the 1,008 square feet we had on record.After correcting this for 2026, it is causing the value of this property to be $316,800 (105.6% sales ratio)or about$16,800 more than it should be for 2025. As I used this sale as a basis for the valuation of the Habitat homes in Neighborhood 6306, Chestnut Oaks,the Docusign Envelope ID:81DCF4B5-OD6D-4EAF-994D-356E93E6384C extracted land price was $125,000 for 1 acre in the AC-9 pricing model. By backing this land pricing down to$110,000, it would generate a revised value for the corrected property to $299,400(99.8% sales ratio). • I would like the BOER to order the Tax Office to adjust the AC-9 land pricing to$110,000 along with any other necessary land adjustments to all the properties in NBC 6306. There have been a number of appeals in this neighborhood and this revision would be reflected in their informal and formal appeal decisions. Other property owners who did not appeal would receive value change notices with the right to appeal to the BOER by July 31st or within 30 days of their notice,whichever is later.
