Docusign Envelope ID: E1E12D4B-C73D-4424-8A3B-CE4FB0113F17 occupied. I asked her to let me know when she might be available to meet in person or if she could provide interior photos of the home's condition.Unfortunately,we were unable to arrange a suitable time to meet, and no photos were submitted. • On July 9,the taxpayer emailed me stating that the home had sustained flood damage during Tropical Storm Chantal and included photos and videos documenting the damage. I explained that while I would make note of the situation and include the submitted materials in her appeal file, the assessment must reflect the property's condition as of January 1, 2025, in accordance with statutory guidelines. As no relevant evidence could be obtained to document interior condition as of January 1, 2025,no change in value is recommended. 1. Subject property photos 2. Property record card before changes 3.

Bench Appellant(if different) Property Address 397 Lakeshore Lane I Parcel ID or Abstract 19890109512 Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on values of comparable properties. Current Assessed Value $702,000 ounty Opinion $679,700 Time of Hearin 3:42 PM Appellant Opinion $618,000 County Representative Jimmy Milliken Board Decision $679,700 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • As illustrated on the attached spreadsheet,we have reviewed our property's assessed value per square foot with the valuations of 17 homes in our neighborhood all within the same subdivision and adjacent to our property. The average per sq. ft. valuation of our neighbors is $286. Our per sq. ft. valuation is $325, 14%greater than the average. We believe that a valuation closer to the average of$286 per square foot or$618,000 would be more equitable than the current valuation of$702,000. The requested valuation of$618,000 is still 36%higher than our 2024 valuation,which would result in an approximate 13%increase in our upcoming total property tax bill as compared to the prior year. A 13%increase in one's property tax bill is significant in any year especially in a year when budgeted County and City tax revenue increases are 4%or less. We have made no changes to our property. We thank you for your time and consideration regarding this request.Neal and Jeanette Bench Evidence submitted by the county representative: • The subject property is a one-story home with some finished basement, in NBC 7492 at 397 Lakeshore Ln.,built in 1974 with 2,160 square feet. • I reviewed the submitted documentation and the and it clearly show the size of the living area to determine price per square foot,with the exception of 406 Lakeshore had renovations and
