Board reduces land value after deed/plat acreage correction
Summary
Gregory W. Ferris challenged his parcel's acreage and condition; assessor staff located a plat indicating the lot is ~1.025 acres (records listed two acres), the assessor proposed a land-value correction and the board voted unanimously to reduce the land value, lowering total assessment to $433,500.
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.
Mr. Ferris described deferred maintenance, flood repairs and aging systems; assessors inspected the property and agreed the parcel acreage on record required correction. The board voted unanimously to accept the assessor’s acreage correction and the resulting assessment change.
