Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on a comparable sale, the condition of the
home and incorrect data on the current property record card.
Current Assessed Value $674,600 County Opinion $637,800
Time of Hearin 1:12 PM Appellant Opinion $625,000
County Representative Jimmy Milliken Board Decision $637,800
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The assessed value of 908 Hillsborough Road in the neighborhood is $623,300
(https://property.spatialest.com/nc/orange/#/property/9779313296). See Sales.
• The roof of the home is 17 years old. HVAC (air handler) system is 17 years old and near the
failing point and requires high$ cost to maintain. Kitchen and cabinets are very old,more than
16 years old.Water heater is 18 years old(built Oct 2007). The$ depreciation of those items
are high. Please see attached disclosure document when we purchased the home in 2022.
• The total size is 3,306 square feet,not 3,381 square feet on
https://property.spatialest.com/nc/orange/#/property/9779314276. Please see the attached floor
plan file.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is located at 920 Hillsborough Road. The property sold in 2022 for
$627,500 and has a current value of$674,600.
• Regarding sales submitted by the appellant, Comparable#1, 115 Bruton Drive is a 2025 sale
and cannot be considered as a comparable sale for 2025. Comparable#2,202 Columbia Place
is a townhome having 1,844 square feet and is located in a different neighborhood and not
considered comparable to the subject. Comparable#3, 602 Valen Court is also a 2025 sale and
cannot be considered as a comparable sale for 2025. The sales do not validate a reason for
value change.
• The property's year built is 2008 and the effective age is also 2008 which accounts for the
condition/maintenance issues listed in the appeal.
• Measured and corrected the square footage of the house to 3,325 square feet and garage to 484
square feet.
• The County finds the land to need adjusting. The County recommends adjusting the current
easement adjustment of-10%to -30%market adjustment to account for shape and access from
a shared driveway. This will create a revised value of $637,800.

Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the condition of the home and an
independent appraisal of the subject.
Current Assessed Value $541,800 County Opinion $487,500
Time of Hearin 1:20 PM Appellant Opinion $458,000
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $487,500
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a reduction in value based on the condition of the home and an
appraisal indicating a value of$458,000 as of July 11,2025.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The County reviewed the appraisal submitted by the appellant but did not consider the
valuation section as the appraiser's opinion of value and adjustments to support the opinion are
as of a post-revaluation date. However,the County did consider the physical data
characteristics presented in the appraisal as well as the interior photographs and the
sketch/floor plan included in the appraisal.
• Upon inspection,the County recommends the following: change the grades of the shed and
lean-to sheds from C to D, change the condition from Fair to Average but reduce the effective
year built from 2005 to 1995 reflecting some maintenance since its construction in 1990
including a 2022 addition,and add a 24 foot attached storage room not on the property record.
The County also recommends applying 15%functional depreciation for design from the 2022
addition as access from the family room to the bath is through another bedroom.
• If all County recommendations are accepted,the overall valuation of the property would be
reduced to $487,500.

Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on incorrect data on the current property record
card.
Docusign Envelope ID:CAA96AA1-7D21-4D46-9A3F-10F230AD80FA
Current Assessed Value $332,500 County Opinion $310,100
Time of Hearin 1:24 PM Appellant Opinion $300,000
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $310,100
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a reduction in value due to incorrect data in which the appellant
contends that the finished basement only has 7.5-foot ceilings and should not be considered
part of the finished living area.No other support for the appellant's estimate of value was
submitted.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The County performed a site inspection on September 16, 2025,and the residence was
observed to exhibit minimal maintenance since its 1970 construction date. The appraiser was
able to observe the finished basement which does appear to have lower than normal ceiling
heights,but was completely finished,heated,and cooled.
• The County recommends the following changes: remove a storage building from the property
record, add a 638 square foot finished basement that had previously been removed from the
property record,reduce the effective year built from 1985 to 1975, and apply an additional
20%functional obsolescence for design to account for the lower-than-normal ceiling height of
the basement and the lack of a true third bedroom.
• These recommended changes would reduce the value of the subject to $310,100.

Current Assessed Value $326,800 County Opinion $326,800
Time of Hearin 1:31 PM Appellant Opinion $297,992
County Representative Kelly Wells Board Decision $326,800
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• Comparable sale: 2/5/2025 266 Lexes Trail, Chapel Hill sold for$455,000 ($250.4127 per
square foot). It is 1,817 square feet with a.04-acre lot size and is a Grade B-10 quality level.
Docusign Envelope ID:CAA96AA1-7D21-4D46-9A3F-10F230AD80FA
My house is 1,190 square feet with a .02-acre lot size and is a Grade C quality level. The
comparable house has twice the lot size I have and a higher quality level yet my per square foot
price is $274,6218. I'm not sure the reason for the comps lot size to be twice the size of mine
but they are both valued at$200,000. That puts me at a significant disadvantage when I go to
sell my home.
• In addition,in the beginning of the year Zillow and Trulia realty websites both had my home
valued at$311,200 without knowing it was a Grade C quality.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 1,190 square foot townhome with 2 bedrooms and 2& 1/2 baths built
in 2010 and located in Chapel Hill.
• The sale used in the appeal occurred February 2025 and is out of the scope of the revaluation
period and cannot be considered. The County recommends no change in value.

Property Address 4112 Lynch Store Road Parcel ID or Abstract 19827398433
Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on an equity analysis.
Current Assessed Value $184,900 County Opinion $177,200
Time of Hearin 1:55 PM Appellant Opinion $105,300
County Representative C le Anderson Board Decision Continue appeal to later date
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant provided an equity analysis to support their opinion of value. The appellant
states that there's a wide variance in land assessments based on their analysis.
• Appellants submitted additional evidence at the meeting that has been uploaded into Spatialest.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is an improved 3.4-acre tract located at 4112 Lynch Store Road, in
Mebane. The County physically inspected the property for verification and photos. The
County also carefully reviewed the comparable properties submitted by the appellant, as a
primary concern was the wide variance in local land assessments. Of the 34 properties
submitted by the appellant,only a few were from the subject property's neighborhood code
Docusign Envelope ID:CAA96AA1-7D21-4D46-9A3F-10F230AD80FA
(2025),which carries a base rate of$30,000 (AC-9 pricing). The appellant's comparable
properties also varied in size,which has a significant impact on the value of land. For
example,referring to page one of the appellant's spreadsheet, 13 properties were submitted,
with the land ranging from 1 acre to 18.33 acres in size. For 10 of these,the properties were
from neighborhood code 2019,which has a base rate of$20,000. 2 of the 13 properties also
had adjustments for negative influence factors on the land. Page 2 of the appellant's
comparable property spreadsheet paints a similar picture,which explains the variance in land
values. The range of land sizes for the 16 properties listed on this page are from 0.98 to 16.85
acres in size. All are from different neighborhoods than the subject. 2 of the neighborhoods
(2021 and 2027)have base rates of$36,000 and$35,000. There were a few parcels from
neighborhood 2019 as well. 2 of the 16 also had negative land adjustments for influence
factors, including one with a-75%no perc adjustment(PIN 9838091225). For the 5 parcels on
page 3,the lot values ranged from 6.76 to 56.08 acres in size. The tracts were also from
different neighborhood codes and 3 of the 5 have land adjustments for negative influence
factors. In summary,the wide variance in land values is supported by the aforementioned
variables.
• The County also performed a sales analysis and an equity analysis. The sales analysis used 4
sales from the subject's neighborhood that sold in either 2023 or 2024. 3 of the 4 sales had
higher negative land adjustments for different influence factors than the subject property.
Several were larger and several were smaller in size than the subject,which led to variance in
the land values. For these reasons,the subject's price per acre was slightly higher than the
average of the sold properties. The County's equity analysis used 3 parcels, 2 of which are
adjacent to the subject. This analysis revealed that the subject's land value is in line with that
of neighboring tracts. After review,the County recommends applying a-10%adjustment to
the subject's land to account for the shape of the lot. This change would reduce the subject's
assessment to $177,200. The County recommends a revised value of$177,200 for the subject
property.

Docusign Envelope ID:CAA96AA1-7D21-4D46-9A3F-10F230AD80FA
Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value due to the limitations on the property because of an
OWASA right-of-way.
Current Assessed Value $1,652,700 County Opinion $1,337,700
Time of Hearin 2:27 PM Appellant Opinion $1,375,000
County Representative Kelly Wells Board Decision $1,337,700
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The property contains substantial limitations in its use,limiting the value to us as property
owners. A majority of our 1.3 acres(approximately 65%)is land used and managed by
OWASA,of which we have severely limited control and use. Taxing us fully on this portion of
encumbered property,which we cannot use or enjoy in light of its dedicated use as an OWASA
throughway for water and sanitation purposes that primarily benefit the Town of Chapel Hill,
seems unfair and unreasonable.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 4,501 square foot home with 4 bedrooms and 4 & 1/2 baths on 1.3
acres in the Chapel Hill historic district.
• The median lot size in the neighborhood is 0.32 acre, and the average size is .47 acre. The
usable area of the lot is .41 acre. This portion also has topography issues.
• Due to the restrictions of the OWASA easement and Resource Conservation District(RCD)on
0.89 acres of the 1.30-acre parcel,the County recommends removing the 35% size adjustment
on the land and adding a-10%topography adjustment reducing the total value from
$1,652,700 to $1,337,700.

Time of Hearin 2:38 PM Appellant Opinion $679,500
County Re resentative Kelly Wells Board Decision $616,400
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• We believe the lot value is an extreme overestimation. The lot has multiple issues that restrict
any use of the land other than a single-family house.Due to these issues,we believe the lot is
worth about half of what you state,or about$320,000.
• Real estate agent Hank Dunn of Natalie&Co. did an exhaustive comparable search, in which
he considered properties+/-20%living area,close date within the last 12 months,built
between 1965 and 1975 (our house is 1970),within a 1.37-mile map radius(see supporting
comparables documentation pdf). The average close price is $679,500.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 2,320 square foot single family home with 2 bedrooms and 3 baths
built in 1970 on 3.45 acres in Chapel Hill.
• A site visit was conducted,and the County recommends increasing the Low-Lying land
adjustment of-20%to-50% for overall topography resulting in a reduction in total value from
$808,400 to $616,400.

• Mr. Cooper which owns the mortgage on the property values it at the above amount. This is a
dramatic difference from the $421,900 tax valuation. -In the Morris Grove Heights
neighborhood one single house has sold within the last seven years. The condition of this
property was unique among its neighbors. Therefore,to use its sale price as a 1:1 valuation of
its neighbors is incorrect data. Similar property sales shouldn't apply here.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a one story 1,208 square foot home located at 108 Dublin Road.
Reviewed sales of 105 Dublin Road, 101 Old Spring Road, and reviewed the neighborhood.
The upgrades of the two properties that sold suggest the subject property's grade should be
adjusted from C+10 to C and the effective year built from 1995 to 1986 to align the property
with the sales. The proposed changes would lead to a revised value of$394,800 for 2025.

Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The Appellant filed a formal appeal on July 23,2025. The Appellant stated"My property data
is incorrect,and I would like to request a field review/site visit from a county appraiser: There
are several condition issues with the house; including roof damage,roof shingles blown,gutter
and downspout damage,ceiling stains and other ceiling damage,railing damage. I attempted to
add photos,but the system wasn't allowing me to upload and would then give me an error
message,preventing me from submitting. I'm going to email pictures separately."

• NOTE: This appeal was originally scheduled on 8/13/2025,Appellant requested and was
granted an extension to 8/27/2025. Appellant cancelled that meeting. Three emails were sent
but not responded to concerning re-scheduling the meeting. A notice of this meeting date was
included in the final email(no response from appellant).
• On July 29,2025, a site visit was performed by this appraiser. The tenant was in attendance
and allowed access to the interior of the home to observe grade, condition/maintenance, and
construction standards. Photos were taken of the exterior of the home,the interior showing
ceiling damage, and the kitchen for a point of reference for condition and updates.
• The residence was built in 1972(53-years-old),the current effective year built is 1992 (33-
years). This effective year would signify that there would be components in need of
maintenance and repair, e.g. roofing.
• It is the appraiser's position that no additional reduction to the current assessed value is
warranted based on the evidence provided.
