Property Identification: Property Owner Lauren Bowers Brown Appellant(if different) Property Address 7206 Sed ewood Road I Parcel ID or Abstract 19880588279 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the condition of the home. Current Assessed Value $918,900 County Opinion $851,000 Time of Hearin 2:49 PM Appellant Opinion $825,000 County Representative Louise Benson- Board Decision $851,000 Lochner Evidence submitted by the appellant: • The Appellant filed a formal appeal on 7/27/2025. The Appellant stated: "The house is 35 yrs old, some maintenance has been done on the exterior,but very little on the interior. In recent years I went thru a divorce, and in 2021 a major stroke with limited mobility and the need for some in-home assistance resulting. I plan on remaining in my house and doing the needed maintenance and updating but it will be on a very gradual basis, finances and my health setting the terms. I am attaching photos documenting areas needing maintenance,and areas looking the same as when built in 1989,needing aesthetic updating. The house is not comparable to recent sales in the area." Evidence submitted by the county representative: • On 9/12/2025 a site visit was performed by this appraiser. The taxpayer was at home and allowed access to the site along with the exterior of the home to observe grade, condition/maintenance, and construction standards. Photos were taken of the exterior and are attached. The Appellant supplied interior pictures with her appeal. • Appraiser observations and recommendations: 1. AGE: A 2025 Informal Appeal was submitted concerning condition. At that time the Effective Year Built was reduced from 1999 to the Actual Year Built of 1989. This reduced the 2025 assessed value by$45,300.No additional recommendation for reduction due to being at lowest option for effective year built. 2. CONDITION: Upon site review and photos supplied, due to lack of continued and general maintenance,physical deterioration has occurred. In particular,windows and doors are aged, the cosmetics of the home are in need of updating. It is recommended that condition should be changed from Average(26%)to Fair(32%). This would reduce the assessed value by$45,400. 3. GRADE: An appropriate grade of A+10 is in existence.No change recommended. 4. LAND: An Influence of-20%for a power line has been in existence and remains on the current assessed value. It is noted the subject also has a stream running through the property. The combination of the power line easement and the stream affects 40%of the property. A total adjustment of-25%is appropriate. This recommendation would reduce the assessed value $22,500. 6. Comper report is attached. Appellant did not address or provide sales to justify a reduction in the assessed value. Report is not for determining value, only for amenity comparison.No change is recommended based on sales.
