Evidence submitted by the county representative: • This property was appealed during the informal period,and a-15%topography adjustment was added because no perc documentation was provided at that time. This adjustment reduced the value to $74,600. • The subject property is .92 acres located on the corner of NC 54 W and Hatch Rd in Chapel Hill. Based on the documentation provided by the appellant from the Orange County Health Department,the County recommends removing the -15%topography adjustment, as topography is part of the reason for the non-percable site and adding a-75%perc adjustment. • GIS Map • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept the County's revised value of$21,900 Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Sam Salvi Voted For Leon Meyers Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Yang Yang Appellant(if different) Property Address 1 10 16 Highgrove Drive Parcel ID or Abstract 19777876025 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on comparable sales located in the same neighborhood. Current Assessed Value $406,000 County Opinion $406,000 Time of Hearing 2:08 PM Appellant Opinion $350,000 County Representative Kelly Wells Board Decision $406,000 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • There are three same-footprint units in our townhome community sold in this revaluation cycle. 908 Highgrove Dr was sold for$340,000; 916 Highgrove Dr was sold for$390,000, and 1008 Highgrove Dr was sold for$357,000. The average sale value is $362,333, and the median sale value is $357,000. After removing the potential price-reduction or repair credit from the listed sale price, I believe my unit should worth$350,000 to$360,000. The suggested similar Docusign Envelope ID:6AD483F6-9814-4C69-82F6-OAAFE1C62AB1 property sales in your system are the homes on Glade Street and Westside Drive,which have much larger floor plans and a brick facade. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a townhome with 1,152 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 & 1/2 baths built in 2000, located on Highgrove Drive in Southern Village, in Chapel Hill. • Based on order of the BOER, the County made changes to this townhome, along with the others on Highgrove Drive,that resulted in a reduced value after this appeal was filed. • The grades of the townhome and garage were reduced due to the lesser build quality than that of the other townhomes within the community. The current value for this property is $406,000. • There were no recent 2024 sales of the Highgrove Drive townhomes,but 916 Highgrove Drive sold in 2022 for$338,500 and again in April of 2025 for$400,000. Using a time adjustment for the other 2021 sales based on this resale,we can determine that the sale prices increased at least 20% from 2021 to 2025 (chart included in packet). The current value of$406,000 is well within the range of time adjusted sales and is equitable with the other similar units. • Photos of subject • GIS Map • Equity Analysis and Time Adjusted Sales • Current Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept the County's recommendation of no change in value Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Saru Salvi Voted For Leon Meyers Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner La Eula Davis Appellant(if different) Property Address 115 Culbreth Park Drive Parcel ID or Abstract 9787181808 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the fact that the home has had no upgrades.

The County also reviewed Docusign Envelope ID:6AD483F6-9814-4C69-82F6-OAAFE1C62AB1 recent comparable sales in the subject's neighborhood.After review,the County recommends reducing the grade from a C+5 to a C and the effective year built from 2000 to 1995. These changes more accurately reflect the subject's quality of construction and condition while also bringing its price per square foot more in line with the comparable sales. Please note that due to economies of scale,the subject's smaller size translates to a slightly higher than average price per square foot. For example,the comparable sale closest in size to the subject sold for $348.52/square foot in 2023. • These recommended changes would result in a revised assessment of$352,700 for the subject property.
