Docusign Envelope ID:ADED06F5-BFB5-43BF-87F1-32AB8A5DEDDF
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a good quality 87,730 square feet warehouse with office located in Mebane. It is
assessed at approximately$62 per square foot and the appellant is requesting a value of
approximately$57 per square foot. There is a previous $4,950,000 sale to consider from
2022,but there were leases in place, and it appears the leases had been in place awhile and it's
hard to know whether they were at market rates. It is worth noting that the site size is small,
and although the building is competitive,the access to the building is not ideal and wouldn't
suit all users.
• After giving the access/parking/truck access some consideration along with the previous sale,a
value of$5,275,000 or approximately $60 per square foot is supported from the County's
comparable sales and income approach. In application of the County's schedule of values,the
County recommends applying an E03 economic modifier to the property which would reduce
the current valuation of the subject to$5,265,700.

Time of Hearin 10:12 AM Appellant Opinion $17,655,000
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $19,524,900
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a reduction in value based on 2022 and 2023 income and expense
statements.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a$205,500 square feet warehouse built in 2022 and has a current assessed value
of$19,524,900 or$95.01 per square foot. This is a high-quality industrial building that was
delivered in 2024 in Mebane,NC. It is worth noting that it is located next to the sale of the
Thermo Fisher Building that sold for almost$100 per square foot in 2022. This sale is not
included in the Comparable Sales and Income Approach sheet due to age of the sale,but it is
certainly worth consideration. It is provided for additional support.
• CoStar indicates the asking lease rate at this building is$7.50 per square foot on a triple net
(NNN) lease. These properties are almost always leased to national level credit tenants and
capitalization rates are low,usually in the 5%to 6%range.
• The County has provided comparable sales of similar properties and an income approach that
supports the current assessed value. As a result, no change in value is recommended.

Time of Hearin 11:37 AM Appellant Opinion $725,000
County Representative Dana Hall Board Decision $793,900
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• Request reduction in value based on detailed realty valuation of property.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is located at 4800 Oak Hill Drive in Chapel Hill. On January 6,2026, a
County appraiser conducted a field visit to the property to review the lot and dwelling
conditions referenced in the formal appeal. Based on observations from the site visit, a
reduction in the effective year built to match the actual year built of the home is recommended.
This conclusion is consistent with the opinion of Tanner Valuation Group, which reviewed the
subject property and surrounding neighborhood approximately two months ago.
• An informal appeal was previously processed in July 2025,resulting in a reduction in the
home's grade, a change in condition to Fair, and the addition of a negative land influence of
—10%due to topography issues affecting the lot. Considering these prior adjustments and the
supporting second opinion from Tanner Valuation Group,the County recommends revising the
effective year built to 1970,which reflects the home's actual year of construction.
• This adjustment results in a reduction in assessed value of$25,900, for a total county
recommendation of$862,300.

Property Owner Michael P. Yoquelet =AppeRant(if different)
Property Address 1540 North Nash Street I Parcel ID or Abstract 19864791366
Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on comparables and incorrect data.
Current Assessed Value $643,300 ounty Opinion $643,300
Time of Hearin 1:05 PM Appellant Opinion $620,000
County Representative C le Anderson Board Decision $633,000
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant states:
"The size of the house was measured by a licensed real estate professional and comes in as a
1925 sf(35x55 rectangle)house with a 400-sf basement. Property sales data for houses in my
area with a .3-acre lot, 1925 sf and no garage would likely not sell for over$610,000. A clear
comparison of valuation to our house is the house next door to us at 538 N Nash St. This house
has 3,000 sf(1,000 sf MORE than ours). It has a larger lot, a fully finished 2-car garage(we
have no garage), and it was built by the same builder as ours and was built in 2022 (3 years
newer than our house.)Please note that our house does not have a carport or any outbuildings.
Therefore,because of the square footage mistake and the clear disparity in valuation compared
to our best comparative valuation(538 N Nash)we are requesting a reconsideration of our
valuation.Note: The sketch of the house shows 35 sf wide and 55 sf long. If you add in the
400-sf basement you get 2325 sf. The GIS sketch and the listing for the house showed 2538. It
appears that someone may have inverted the numbers,meaning to write 2358 and instead it
came out as 2528?Again,the total sf on your website is 2528. Please view the property sketch.
That shows dimensions of 55 and 35, or 1925 sf. In any event,using 2538 is meaningfully over
the size of the house. Thank you for your consideration."
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 0.29-acre tract improved with a 2,528 square foot single-family
dwelling located at 540 N.Nash Street in Hillsborough. The appellant states that the basement
square footage is overstated based on a sketch reportedly completed by a licensed realtor;
however, no sketch was submitted with this appeal. The appellant also provided an equity
comparable located at 538 N. Nash Street.
• County staff reviewed the appellant's equity comparable and determined that its lower value
per square foot($157.30) is attributable to its significantly lower grade (B-10). Additionally,
the comparable is a much larger multi-story dwelling with a basement,whereas the subject
property is a one-story home with a basement.
• Staff also reviewed a sales analysis of recently sold comparable properties within the subject's
neighborhood. This analysis, which includes the 2024 sale of the subject property,indicates
that the subject's price per square foot is consistent with recent market activity. Therefore, staff
recommends no change to the current assessment of$643,300.

Current Assessed Value $304,200 ounty Opinion $208,900
Time of Hearin 1:20 PM Appellant Opinion $210,000
County Representative C le Anderson Board Decision $208,900
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant states:
"The house is in very poor condition inside. Most of it has been gutted down to the studs.
There have been many years of deferred maintenance. There are holes in the structure which
let the rats and squirrels in."
• An appraisal with an effective date of December 4, 2025 and an opinion of value of$210,000
was submitted as supporting evidence.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 0.46-acre lot improved with a 1,474 square foot single-family
dwelling located at 711 Eno Street in Hillsborough. The appellant submitted an appraisal with
an effective date of December 4, 2025, and an opinion of value of$210,000 as supporting
evidence. Although the appraisal's effective date is December 4, 2025, all the appraiser's
comparable sales were from 2024.
• The appraisal also included numerous photographs,which indicate that the subject property
exhibits significant deferred maintenance and physical damage. These conditions adversely
impact the marketability of the subject property. Accordingly,County staff recommends the
following changes:
•Reduce the grade from C to C-10
•Reduce the effective year built from 1965 to 1922
•Apply 50%physical depreciation
• These proposed changes result in a revised assessment of$208,900, which brings the
assessment in line with the appraisal's opinion of value.

Current Assessed Value $407,900 ounty Opinion $345,000
Time of Hearin 1:52PM Appellant Opinion $345,000
County Representative Cyle Anderson Board Decision $345,000
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant states:
"I spoke with Louise Benson-Lochner from Orange County Tax Office who recently visited the
property and deemed that the manufactured home on the property is uninhabitable. This
evaluation has lowered its value from$65,600 to$2700(98%depreciation)for 2026."
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 1.16-acre tract improved with one single-family dwelling(card one)
and one manufactured home(card two), located at 303 N.Nash Street in Hillsborough. The
appellant noted that an Orange County appraiser recently inspected the property and
determined that the manufactured home on card two was unlivable.
• After review and discussion with the appraiser,it was confirmed that substantially similar
conditions existed as of January 1, 2025,with respect to the manufactured home on card two.
Accordingly, County staff recommends applying the same condition adjustments for the 2025
tax year by changing the condition from Average to Poor and applying 95%physical
depreciation.
• These proposed changes result in a revised value of$2,700 for the manufactured home and a
reduction in the overall assessed value to$345,000.
