Multiple Oberg appeals result in reductions across Colton 3rd and 4th Additions
Summary
Betty Oberg presented several appeals for lots in the Colton City 3rd and 4th Additions; the board approved reductions across five parcels citing substantial year-over-year increases and lack of improvements.
Property owner Betty Oberg appealed assessments on a series of adjacent lots across the Colton City 3rd and 4th Additions. The board reduced assessments on Parcels #021580, #021702, #021579, #021704 and #021577, citing large year-over-year increases (examples range from $3,100 to $125,100) and noting that no improvements had been made to several of these properties.
Recorded motions included reductions such as Parcel #021580 lowered to a total assessment of $218,700 and Parcel #021579 adjusted to a $100,000 total assessment. The minutes repeatedly cite comparisons to similar nearby structures as the rationale for the reductions. The board's unanimous votes indicate agreement that the prior assessments rose beyond what comparables and property condition supported.
Staff will update assessment records and issue notices to the owner and affected taxpayers.
