Board reduces Harrison parcel land assessment citing inequity with neighbors
Summary
Matthew and Tracy Harrison successfully appealed their land assessment, which the board lowered from $167,400 to $87,600, after the owners argued a significant per-acre inequity compared with neighboring properties.
Trustee David Cofoid moved and Jacob Rapp seconded a reduction of land value for the Matthew and Tracy Harrison parcel (GL 4 less Lot A, B Revised, and C of Spencer Smith Homestead; Parcel ID: 70-08-101-009; Tax ID: 47798) from $167,400 to $87,600. The board voted unanimously to approve the change.
The Harrisons told the board the reduction was warranted because the parcel's per-acre assessed value was significantly higher than neighboring properties; an attachment was referenced in the record. The board accepted the inequity argument and adjusted the assessment accordingly.
