Docusign Envelope ID: F69F6FC6-EFB7-4BA4-AC17-3EC64A01A42C Voted Against ... Property Identification: Property Owner Glenn I Floyd Appellant(if different) Property Address 105 Dove Street Parcel ID or Abstract 19779217534 Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on"adverse physical and environmental characteristics that impact its desirability and marketability." Current Assessed Value $527,300 ounty Opinion $527,300 Time of Hearin 3:37 PM Appellant Opinion $495,000 County Representative Dana Hall Board Decision $527,300 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • I am writing to formally appeal the proposed tax assessment for my property located at 105 Dove Street in Carrboro,NC (Parcel ID: 9779217534). The current assessment has increased from$477,000 to $527,000a 10.5%increase. I believe this valuation does not accurately reflect the property's actual market value due to specific adverse physical and environmental characteristics that impact its desirability and marketability. Grounds for Appeal: 1. Proximity to Flood Plain and Drainage Limitations The property is directly adjacent to a designated flood plain, and portions of the lot exhibit swamp-like features during and after periods of rainfall. These conditions limit the usability of the land and present challenges for drainage, landscaping, and potential future development or expansion. These factors would be expected to negatively impact the market value relative to similar properties not affected by such issues. 2. Unpaved Road Frontage. 105 Dove Street is situated on an unpaved section of the roadway, which affects both accessibility and curb appeal. The lack of paved frontage not only detracts from the property's appearance but also creates maintenance burdens and lowers the property's desirability compared to other properties in the area with standard paved access. 3. Comparable Properties and Prior Valuation. The prior assessment of$477,000 more accurately reflected the property's market value when considering these factors.No substantial improvements have been made to the property since the last assessment, and environmental conditions remain unchanged or have worsened due to increased rainfall and continued runoff challenges in the area. 4. Photographic Evidence. Enclosed are recent photos of the property showing standing water and the swamp-like conditions, as well as the unpaved road access. These visuals reinforce the concerns cited and should be considered in evaluating the appropriateness of the proposed increase. Requested Action Given these considerations, I respectfully request that the assessed value be reduced to $477,000, consistent with the prior valuation and reflective of the property's current condition and market limitations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am available to discuss or provide additional documentation at your convenience. Sincerely, Glenn Floyd Owner, 105 Dove Street 919-636-2920 bzfloyd@gmail.com Evidence submitted by the county representative: • On November 18, 2025 the subject property was visited by an appraiser. A floodplain is indicated on the aerial GIS map; however, it is located nearly two lots away from the subject property. The lot itself appears to have a very level slope based on both the available photographs and observations made during the site visit.
