Summary

Counsel for the owner of 120 Tranquility Rd told the board his client spent $165,000 on a pool house but that could not account for the assessor’s roughly $550,000 higher market‑value estimate; the board said it would consider a submitted appraisal.

At the hearing, attorney George G. Mowad said his client at 120 Tranquility Rd added a pool house costing about $165,000 and questioned how that would translate to an assessed increase of roughly $550,000. Commissioners confirmed the board considers properties over $1 million in this venue and told Mowad the board would review a formal appraisal if submitted; the board did not record a valuation change at the meeting.
