<br /> <br />County Representative Louise Benson- <br />Lochner <br />Board Decision $268,300 <br /> <br />Evidence submitted by the appellant: <br />• The Appellant filed a formal appeal on 6/16/2025. The Appellant stated the <br />"doublewide has wear and tear". <br />• No additional evidence e.g., photos, repair bids, comparable sales were provided. <br /> <br /> <br />Evidence submitted by the county representative: <br />• On 8/28/2025 a site visit was performed by this appraiser. One of taxpayers was in <br />attendance and allowed access to the site along with the exterior of the home to <br />observe grade, condition/maintenance, and construction standards. Exterior photos <br />were taken of the residence and the outbuilding. <br />• Observations and recommendations: <br />1. Being an older manufactured home, the Grade should be 'C-10', not the current <br />'C' grade. This change will cause a reduction in assessed value of $10,800. <br />2. The Effective Year Built is the same as the Actual Year Built of 2000. This <br />reflects that standard maintenance has been performed with no major <br />renovations. No change is recommended. <br />3. The current condition is 'Average' which yields a 37% depreciation factor. <br />This factor is appropriate for the condition of the home from what the <br />appraiser could observe. No evidence of additional depreciation was supplied <br />by the Appellant. No change is recommended. <br />4. Yard items - One storage building is located on the property and accounted for <br />in the assessment records with a value of $1,200. No change is recommended. <br />5. The site is lot valued with a base rate of $170,000. A + 10% land influence <br />factor has been applied for a larger than typical size, however, the site has a <br />significant slope in the rear in which a -10% topography adjustment would <br />offset the +10% size adjustment. Therefore, it is recommended the size <br />adjustment be removed and no adjustment applied to the land. This will <br />reduce the assessed land value by $17,000. <br />• The changes concerning Grade and land would reduce the current assessed value of the <br />property from $296,100 to $268,300, a reduction of $27,800. <br />• Summary <br />• Current Property Record Card <br />• Proposed Property Record Card <br />• Photos of Improvements <br />• GIS map <br /> <br /> <br />Motion of the Board Accept County's Proposed Value: $268,300 <br />Made the motion Leon Meyers <br />Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook <br />Voted For All BOER Members ... <br />Voted Against ... ... <br /> <br /> <br />Property Identification: <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 288E0C02-CDC7-42EE-8ACF-A225778F48C2
