Current Assessed Value $296,100 ounty Opinion $164,500 Time of Hearin 9:46 AM Appellant Opinion $100,000 County Representative Jimmy Milliken Board Decision $164,500 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • "My father bought this property in early'60's. The property is far off the road with no easement. It once had a road which is now grown up. He had a grading company up until late '70's in Chapel Hill and dumped brush and stumps when clearing house lots. The land has no real value and honestly, we(me and my 2 brothers] would give the property away or donate it if we knew where. If an appraiser had gone and looked at the property,the value would not be where it is. We have another parcel of 10.8 acres in Chatham County bordered on 2 sides by Governors Club and that tax value is 187,000. Thanks for your consideration." Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a 10-acre parcel of vacant land off McCauley Lane in NBC 7042. The property was reviewed, and the County suggests increasing the adjustments for access distance (due to the presence of an easement), the stream/buffer, and the floodplain area from -10%to -50%. Based on this review,the recommended changes would create a revised assessed value of$164,500. • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card • Maps • GIS Map Motion of the Board Accept Coun 's Proposed Value: $164,500 Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Shannon Julian Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Olanrewa'u O.

Our lot is still an undeveloped vacant lot with a yard item valued at $3,700." Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is located in NBC 7042 at 1200 McCauley Lane and is improved with a personal property mobile home with a shed,porch, deck, and mobile home addition as real property yard items per the county record. This neighborhood was reviewed by order of the Board of Equalization and Review, and all required changes have been completed. • County staff reviewed the appeal and the comparables submitted by the appellant. Comparable sale#1 was determined to be unqualified, as it was a related-party transaction. Comparable sale #2 occurred in 2025 and therefore falls outside the January 1, 2025 revaluation date and was not considered. Additionally, 1206 Watson Road is 2.85 acres larger than the subject and carries a 10%greater land adjustment that when valued through the AC-9 pricing table results in a lower dollar-per-acre value. • Preforming a site visit, County staff discovered the neighboring home to be encroached onto the subject property. The County suggests an additional 20%totaling a-30% adjustment for a new land value of$131,700. Also removing two sheds a deck and the addition,bringing the SFYI value to $800 and a total assessed value of$132,500. • Analysis • Current Property Record Card • Proposed Property Record Card • GIS Map • Photo of Subject Motion of the Board Accept Coun 's Proposed Value: $132,500 Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Shannon Julian Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Fares Khalidi Appellant if different Property Address 3618 Alex Drive Parcel ID or Abstract 19885957380 Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on recent sales and a Redfin estimate.

Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a 2.44-acre tract improved with two single-family dwellings: a 2,036- square-foot dwelling on card one and a 1,1 16-square-foot dwelling on card two, located at 3616 and 3618 Alex Drive in Hillsborough. • County staff reviewed the appellant's spreadsheet,which includes three recently sold comparable properties located within the subject's neighborhood. These sales were reviewed as part of the County's sales analysis. The appellant also submitted three additional comparable sales that are not located within the subject's neighborhood. These three comparables are each from different neighborhoods, all of which have lower base rates than the subject's neighborhood based on AC-9 pricing. Additionally,two of the three sales were unqualified. The remaining comparable, 3102 Caleb Court,is a one-acre tract improved with a 1,372- square-foot single-family dwelling and is not comparable to the larger house and acreage associated with the subject property. As a result,these three sales were not considered in the County's review. • County staff analyzed the appellant's three comparable sales located within the subject's neighborhood. For the purpose of this analysis,the second dwelling listed on the subject's property record card was excluded. This analysis shows that the subject property's value per acre is in line with the comparable sales. Additionally,the subject property's value per square foot—using only the dwelling on card one—is consistent with that of the comparable sales. • It should be noted that in the appellant's analysis,the stated building value of$450,700 includes the assessed values of both single-family dwellings. The livable square footage of the dwelling on card one is 2,036 square feet, as noted on the appellant's spreadsheet,while the dwelling on card two contains 1,116 square feet of livable area. It should also be noted that the appellant's stated land value of$263,500 was reduced to $238,000 following an informal appeal earlier in 2025. • Based on the above analysis, County staff recommends no change to the subject property's current assessed value of$703,800. • Photo of Subject • GIS Map • Sales Analysis • Current Property Record Card Motion of the Board Accept County's Proposed Value: $703,800 No change in value Made the motion Shannon Julian Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: 4 Docusign Envelope ID:3BEA2D13-5F9D-4EE1-9549-E5628BECF69D Property Owner Rey Khan LLC dba Lucha Appellant(if different) Tigre Property Address Business Personal Parcel ID or Abstract 3218585 Property at 746 Martin Luther King Jr.Boulevard Statement of Appeal: Request compromise of business personal property discovery penalty.

Current Assessed Value $18,010,500 ounty Opinion $22,934,000 Time of Hearin 1:01 PM Appellant Opinion $8,837,000 County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $22,934,000 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on actual income from 2024. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject is a 114,597 square feet office building constructed in 2020 and has an assessed value of$18,010,500 or$157.16 per square foot. • This is a LEED certified Class A office building in Chapel Hill. Although constructed in 2020, it still has not finished lease up(65% leased with some concessions still left to run out). The agent has provided a rent roll and summary of operations as an un-stabilized building. However, the County must assess the property as stabilized. The leases in place are in the$35 to $40+per square foot per year range with the exception of the restaurant tenant,which is leased for less,but seems to also be paying percentage rent. • Using the rent roll as a guide for potential gross income, market-based expenses, and a market capitalization rate of 8.5%vs the agent's rate of 7.5%,the County's income approach indicates a value of$23,942,443. After a deduction of almost 25%due to retail shell space,this amount is reduced to $22,839,266. • In addition to an Assessor's Sheet, a study on how the LEED certification adds value to office buildings is included. • Based on the County's income approach and the LEED Certification study,the County recommends reducing the 40%economic depreciation on the building to 18%changing the land market adjustment from+33%to+32%and applying an E05 economic modifier to the property which would result in a revised value of$22,934,000 or$200.13 per square foot, which is still below the range for comparable sales in the Triangle market. • GIS Map of Subject • Current Property Record Card(4 pages) 2 Docusign Envelope ID: BOF983D6-EAD9-4D5D-A13A-EE8461FA1918 • Proposed Property Record Card(4 pages) • Comparable Sales and Income Approach • LEED Certification Return on Investment for Office Buildings Motion of the Board Accept County's Proposed Value: 1 $22,934,000 Made the motion Shannon Julian Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against ...

Based on the attached comparable multifamily development land sales and the attached County's land value analysis, the property is overvalued by the County and an adjustment is warranted. An indication of value of$17,898 per buildable unit is appropriate. As the subject is currently approved for 346 buildable units, $6,192,708 should be the approximate valuation for the subject.

Current Assessed Value $103,284,800 ounty Opinion $72,299,500 Time of Hearin 1:35 PM Appellant Opinion $58,591,900 County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $72,299,500 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on a market proforma and equity comparables. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject is a 253-unit luxury apartment complex with 9,514 square feet of retail space known as 900 Willow Apartments that began construction in 2023. The property has a current assessed value of$103,284,800 or$408,240 per apartment unit. • The appellant has provided an income approach and an equity argument. It is hard to rely on the equity argument overly much since this property is one of the most premium in Town and is attached to University Mall. Plus, it has approximately 9,500 square feet of retail space. • However, the County's Income Approach is indicating a lower value of$72,425,047. The agent uses a fairly high vacancy and concessions deduction,but the property is in lease-up and the County needs to use stabilized numbers. Considering the walkability and ideal location,the County has used a stabilized occupancy of 94% and no concessions (a lease-up specific expense). The County base capitalization rate of 5% is well supported by luxury sales. • Applying the County's Schedule of Values,the County recommends applying an e30 economic modifier to the property which would reduce its current valuation to$72,299,500 or$285,769 per apartment unit which is supported by the County's comparable sales. • GIS Map of Subject • Current Property Record Card(6 pages) • Recommended Property Record Card(6 pages) • Comparable Sales and Income Approach • Triangle Luxury Apartment Capitalization Rate Support (19 pages) Motion of the Board Accept County's Propose Value: $72,299,500 Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Shannon Julian Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Property Identification: Property Owner Dobbins Hill II LLC Appellant(if different) Morgan Fowler/Ryan LLC (Presented by Ca O'Day) 5 Docusign Envelope ID: BOF983D6-EAD9-4D5D-A13A-EE8461FA1918 Property Address 1 1749 Dobbins Drive Parcel ID or Abstract 9799584892 Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on actual income from 2022, 2023, and 2024. Current Assessed Value $3,552,200 ounty Opinion 1 $1,558,300 Time of Hearin 1:50 PM Appellant Opinion $1,381,500 County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $1,558,300 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on actual income from 2022,2023, and 2024. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property consists of 20 units of a 32-unit Low Income Housing Tax Credit apartment community that was constructed in 2010. It is currently assessed at$3,552,200 or $177,610 per unit. The remaining 12 units of the project are located on PIN 9799593279. • In 2008 the NC General Assembly enacted G.S. 105-277.16 which dictates how properties with this special classification must be appraised, assessed, and taxed. Recommendations from the NCDOR based on the statute indicate that low-income and rent restricted properties that meet the special classification are to be valued utilizing the income approach, under which the restrictions in their rent must be considered. Furthermore, due to the special nature of these properties and their restrictions,NCDOR recommends that assessors utilize the real income and expenses presented in the audited income and expense documents,which should be provided. They also indicate that using a market-based capitalization rate would be appropriate. • Like the appellant,the County has considered the two properties that make up this project collectively. The County has reviewed the I&E documentation provided by the appellant.

Furthermore, due to the special nature of these properties and their restrictions,NCDOR recommends that assessors utilize the real income and expenses presented in the audited income and expense documents,which should be provided. They also indicate that using a market-based capitalization rate would be appropriate. • Like the appellant,the County has considered the two properties that make up this project collectively.

The appellant submitted a Gross Rent Multiplier(GRM) analysis to support their estimate of value. However, the comparable properties used to derive estimated market rent and the GRM were not provided, and the approach's relevance is considered an inferior indicator of value as the Sales Comparison Approach remains the most reliable valuation method for single family residential properties in neighborhoods where comparable sales are available. • After review, the County recommends no change to the current assessed value. • Summary • Current Property Record Card • Photo of Subject' • GIS Map • Sales Analysis Motion of the Board Accept Coun 's Proposed Value: $342,200 No change in value Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Shannon Julian Voted For All BOER Members Voted Against Chair of the B EA;Signed by: Leon Meyers /3/2026 Recording SeEr6t-I$RS-a4-E)8 n�a by: Rob Teachout fi 4 2/3/2026 16
