11 <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS, <br /> 5 42e, ' 11. L tit- • MR. ROY D, STCM <br /> Mr. Stone presented pictures to show that his house is not <br /> completed. Be questioned why his house was evaluated higher than other <br /> comparable houses and acreage in his area. <br /> Geroge Meyer, Tax Appraiser for Orange County, stated that after <br /> considering all the information he cannot justify a reduction in taxes. Mx. <br /> Stone refused to allow him inside of the house. In looking at the improved <br /> properties in the neighborhood the property was evaluated at 38.78 per square <br /> foot which is close to the middle of the range. In terms of "grade of <br /> construction" the house is graded at "B". He summarized the list of those <br /> houses which have sold within the area in the last six (6) years and their sale <br /> price. In conclusion, he could not find any basis to reduce the tax value to <br /> keep it fair and in line with the others in the neighborhood. <br /> Mr. Stone indicated he felt it would make no difference in the <br /> appraisal if he allowed Mr. Meyer to see the inside of the house. <br /> NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THE BOARD. <br /> Chair Wilihoit adjourned the meeting. The next regular meeting will be <br /> held on August 20, 1985, at 7:30 p.m. in the Courtroom of the old Post Office <br /> in Chapel Bill, North Carolina. <br /> Don Willhoit, Chair <br /> Beverly A. Blythe, Clerk <br />
