(Motion: Leon Meyers, Second: Barbara Levine,none opposed) <br /> Property Identification: <br /> Property Owner Kira McGovern Appellant(if different) <br /> Property Address 2224 Pathway Drive I Parcel ID or Abstract 19779228679 <br /> Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on comparison to single-family homes vs. <br /> townhomes (owner/neighbor"group"maintenance/decisions, etc.) and a potentially questionable <br /> comparable property. <br /> Current Assessed Value $420,800 ounty Opinion 1 $402,800 <br /> Time of Hearin 12:58 PM Appellant Opinion $355,800 <br /> County Representative Kelly Wells Board Decision Continued <br /> Evidence submitted by the appellant: <br /> • My understanding is that the value of my townhouse is based on the value of the single-family <br /> homes in the Fair Oaks neighborhood using a similar construction grade and land value. What <br /> was not taken into consideration is that the townhomes,which share a wall, are required to <br /> make all decisions regarding maintenance with their townhouse neighbor—decisions around <br /> siding, roofing, termite,rodent and insect control. <br /> • The sale of the 2218 Pathway Drive townhome in 2023 at$407,000 is the closest comparable <br /> to my townhome at 2224 Pathway. The Orange County records indicate this is a 1500 sq ft <br /> townhome so that would bring the townhouse price per sq ft to $271. So based on that comp, <br /> my 1250 sq ft townhouse would have an approx. value of$339,000. Given that was two years <br /> ago, I've estimated that a more accurate assessed value for my town home would be about <br /> $355,800 <br /> Evidence submitted by the county representative: <br /> • The subject property is a townhome with 1,252 A, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths located in Fair Oaks <br /> Subdivision in Chapel Hill. <br /> • This property sold in April of 2022 for$391,500. <br /> • Based on the sale of this property and recent sales of similar units, The County recommends <br /> *Correcting the bath count to 2 full and 1 half bath <br /> *Reducing the grade from B to B-10 <br /> *Increasing the effective year built from 1995 to 2000 for updates and renovations <br />
