Post office building reclassified after restaurant fixtures removed; assessed value falls
Summary
Staff reported a change in usage for a building that previously housed a restaurant inside the post office; with ovens and hoods removed the structure was reclassified as a shop and its assessed value dropped by roughly $34,000.
Staff told the tax equalization meeting that a building which formerly included a restaurant within the post office no longer had restaurant fixtures and should be reclassified as a shop.
"They called me said, 'Hey, it's a change in usage. It's not a restaurant anymore,'" the staff member said, and staff reassessed the property as a shop, reducing the structure value from about $283,000 to $248,930 (Staff member: SEG 186-203). The change was recorded as an adjustment in the assessment notices the office issued.
The board approved the batch of assessment adjustments during the session; staff indicated owners who questioned assessments would be notified and could discuss specific entries further with the assessor's office.
