The full story

Gregory W. Ferris presented a property-condition appeal and questioned how his parcel’s acreage was recorded. Assessor staff said a recorded plat shows the parcel is approximately 1.025 acres, not the two acres listed in tax records; correcting the acreage reduced the land value from about $113,300 to $99,800 and lowered the total assessment to $433,500.
