Board approves recommended reductions for multiple parcels, including industrial properties tied to a tax-court settlement
Summary
The Local Board of Appeals approved assessor-recommended reductions for several parcels, including a mobile home and two industrial parcels whose reductions reflect a multi-year tax-court settlement and a submitted appraisal.
Assessor's staff read into the record recommended assessed-value reductions for several parcels and the Local Board of Appeals approved the recommendations by a 5-0 vote.
Among the entries read into the record, the assessor recommended reducing a mobile-home assessment in Dayton from $13,700 to $6,000 and reducing another residential parcel from $453,800 to $415,100. The assessor's industrial appraiser recommended reductions for two industrial parcels: one from $1,862,000 to $1,513,000 and another from $1,460,000 to $1,187,000. The assessor explained that the industrial reductions for the Pine Point Products lumber yard were part of a multi-year tax-court settlement and that an appraisal provided by "Mr. Talbot" supported the lower values.
A board member asked why the industrial parcels had come down significantly. The assessor's staff said the reductions follow a tax-court settlement and supporting appraisals and that board approval of the reductions saves the county from additional tax-court filing fees.
A board member moved and another seconded the motion to adopt the recommended reductions. The board voted unanimously, with the chair saying, "All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed say no. Motion carries 5 to 0." The board then adjourned the hearing.
The reductions and the Pine Point settlement were recorded in the boards minutes; the assessor indicated the changes arose from submitted appraisals and an ongoing settlement rather than from new on-site visits at the meeting.
