This 4%increase is the fair market increase for a home. Your initial proposal to increase the value of our home to over a million dollars would have been an over 25%increase,which is egregious. The new proposed value of $980,000 is still an inappropriate over 19%annual increase in the value our home, which is absurd, especially as we have not added to the home or sold the home. We strongly dispute this overzealous increase, which will result in a substantial increase in our property taxes without any benefit to us as homeowners. We again request the house be valued at $865,000, as this represents a roughly 5%increase,which is fair and consistent with inflation for annual house valuation. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is located in NBC 7485 at 110 Hayworth Drive and was built in 2001. The dwelling contains 4,336 square feet of living area. • The property experienced value increases during the 2021-2025 revaluation period due to documented improvements, including a bathroom renovation in 2021 at a cost of$69,000, installation of a patio for a hot tub at a cost of$6,500, and a kitchen renovation in 2023 at a cost of$119,000. • County staff conducted a sales analysis of similarly sized properties within the subject's neighborhood. The analysis indicates that the subject property's assessed value is consistent with neighborhood sales. • Based on this analysis, County staff recommends no change to the current assessed value. • Photo of Subject • GIS Map • Analysis • Current Property Record Card • Sales Map Motion of the Board Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $980,000 No Change in Value Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Saru Salvi Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Brian Burnette A ellant if different Property Address 215 N Graham Street Parcel ID or Abstract 19788065928 3 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81F3-B83108AADEBF Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on incorrect data and value increase amount.

The appellant contends that the subject property is over-assessed when compared to other similar dwellings in the neighborhood. • County staff conducted a site visit for verification purposes and photos and reviewed the subject's property record card(PRC). During this review, staff determined that the subject's building value included both the primary dwelling on card one and a second dwelling that was under construction as of January 1, 2025. The second dwelling,which was approximately 10% complete as of January 2025, is listed in the special features/yard items section of the property 6 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81F3-B83108AADEBF record card as "MA."

Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a 975-square-foot condominium located within the Finley Forest Condominium development in Chapel Hill.

Staff reviewed a sales analysis using four comparable 2024 sales of identically sized units within the subject's neighborhood. The analysis indicates that the subject property's price per square foot is consistent with recently sold comparable units. Therefore, staff recommends no change to the current assessed value of$262,500. • GIS Map • Sales Analysis • Current Property Record Card 8 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81F3-B83108AADEBF Motion of the Board Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $262,500 No Change in Value Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Saru Salvi Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Kira McGovern Appellant(if different) Property Address 2224 Pathway Drive Parcel ID or Abstract 19779228679 Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on townhome decision dynamics and a comparable sale. Current Assessed Value $420,800 ounty Opinion $396,400 Time of Hearin 10:43AM Appellant Opinion $355,800 County Representative Kelly Wells Board Decision $396,400 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • My understanding is that the value of my townhouse is based on the value of the single-family homes in the Fair Oaks neighborhood using a similar construction grade and land value. What was not taken into consideration is that the townhomes,which share a wall, are required to make all decisions regarding maintenance with their townhouse neighbor—decisions around siding, roofing, termite,rodent and insect control. • The sale of the 2218 Pathway Drive townhome in 2023 at$407,000 is the closest comparable to my townhome at 2224 Pathway. The Orange County records indicate this is a 1500 sq ft townhome so that would bring the townhouse price per sq ft to $271. So based on that comp, my 1250 sq ft townhouse would have an approx. value of$339,000. Given that was two years ago, I've estimated that a more accurate assessed value for my town home would be about $355,800. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a townhome with 1,252 square feet; 2 bedrooms and 2 baths located in Fairoaks Subdivision in Chapel Hill. • This property sold in April of 2022 for$391,500. • Based on the sale of this property and equity of similar units, The County recommends *Correcting the bath count to 2 full and 1 half bath *Reducing the grade from B to B-10 *Increasing the adjustment on the land from -10%to -15% resulting in a reduction in value from$420,800 to$396,400 • This value takes into account the issues noted in the Additional Appellant Evidence submitted and uploaded on 11/15/2025-Please see emails with photos in Spatialest. • Photo of Subject • Photos from 2022 Listing • GIS Map • Sales and Equity Analysis 9 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81F3-B83108AADEBF • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $396,400 Made the motion Saru Salvi Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against ... Property Identification: Property Owner Abriata Group LLC Appellant(if different) Property Address 202 and 204 McCauley Parcel ID or Abstract 9788355472 Street Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on grade and condition. Current Assessed Value $894,600 County Opinion $786,700 Time of Hearin 11:00AM Appellant Opinion $515,000 County Representative Dana Hall Board Decision $501,900 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • See attached appeal summary in Spatialest. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • On November 13,2025,the subject property located at 202 McCauley Street was inspected with the current owner, Abriata Group LLC, owned by Adrian Halpern(owner as of July 15, 2025). The subject property is a residential lot situated near the corner of McCauley Street and Pittsboro Street in Chapel Hill. The lot contains two single-family residential homes constructed in 1938 and 1939. • Upon inspection,both structures were found to be in need of significant repairs. Based on these conditions, the county recommends revising the condition ratings from Average to Fair and the effective year built from 1980 to 1959 for each dwelling. The total reduction in the combined building value after these recommended adjustments is$280,500. • Additionally,the storage building on the property is also in need of substantial repair. The County recommends changing its condition rating from Average to Fair,resulting in a revised value of$6,200. • With all recommended adjustments applied,the total revised value for the subject property is $786,700. • Photo of Subject • GIS Map • Sales Analysis Report 7162 • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card 10 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81F3-B83108AADEBF Motion of the Board Value Changed as Follows: $501,900 Made the motion Saru Salvi Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against ...

Current Assessed Value $783,700 ounty Opinion $672,700 Time of Hearin 11:20AM Appellant Opinion $493,700 County Representative Dana Hall Board Decision $672,700 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • Appeal summary uploaded in Spatialest. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • On November 13,2025, a field visit with the taxpayer/appellant was completed for the subject property located at 200 McCauley Street, situated at the corner of Pittsboro Street and McCauley Street in Chapel Hill. The property's location offers significant advantages for students attending UNC and for rental purposes. Because of these benefits, it is recommended that the land value classified as commercial acreage remain unchanged, as it appropriately reflects an income-producing property. The improved building structure on the parcel had previously been categorized as a multifamily apartment building. Based on current information indicating that the structure can house four or fewer dwelling units, it is recommended that the building classification be updated to a Two to Four Family Residential Building.A new sketch and updated building details have been prepared in Test AP5, supporting a recommended building value of$301,900. • The two comparable sales cited in the appellant's summary(301 N. Columbia and 204 McCauley Street) are not valid comparables for the 2025 revaluation,as both transactions occurred after January 1, 2025. Additionally,the July 15, 2025 sale of 204 McCauley Street appears to be a related party transaction, as the owner of Abriata Group LLC, Adrian Halpern, is also the owner of the neighboring parcel. • After updating the building condition and structure type,the County recommends a revised total value of$672,700. • Photos of Subject • GIS Map • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $672,700 Made the motion Richal Vanhook 11 Docusign Envelope ID: D13AOB92-9ECB-4FD7-81 F3-B83108AADEBF Seconded the motion Saru Salvi Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against ... ...

The appellant further notes that the home requires a new roof and new siding. According to the appellant,most houses in the neighborhood are larger and newer than the subject property. The appellant submitted two equity comparables as supporting documentation. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a 10.01-acre tract improved with a 1,506 square-foot single-family dwelling located at 2804 Canter Drive in Hillsborough. County staff reviewed equity comparables identified by the appellant,which were circled on an aerial map and submitted as supporting documentation.After analysis, staff determined that the price-per-square-foot of these comparable sales is consistent with that of the subject property. The subject's higher assessment is attributable to the presence of yard items, a garage and a barn, which together carry an assessed value of$82,800. • After inspection and review, County staff recommends applying a-10%land adjustment to account for the stream at the back of the property line.This adjustment results in a revised assessment of$514,700 for the subject property. • Photo of Subject • GIS Map • Equity Sales Analysis (using appellant's comps) • Current Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept Coun 's Proposed Value: $514,700 Made the motion Saru Salvi Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Catherine L.
