Board accepts appraiser updates, reduces Gorman home assessment

Shenandoah County Board of Equalization · April 21, 2026

Summary

After an informal hearing and an appraiser visit ordered April 21, the board adopted appraiser Sam Clark’s updates on reconvening and reduced the Gorman home BUILDING VALUE to $289,600 and OVERALL VALUE to $325,600.

Debra and John Gorman asked the Board of Equalization to correct room counts and other sketch details for their house (PID 5976). Debra provided an appraisal and comparables showing similarly built houses assessed lower; she said her house is only 94 square feet larger than three comparable homes.

The board tabled the matter on April 21 and instructed the County Appraiser to inspect. On reconvening on June 4, 2026 the board accepted County Appraiser Sam Clark’s updates and reduced the BUILDING VALUE to $289,600 and the OVERALL VALUE to $325,600. The April 21 motion to table and send the appraiser was made by Geary Showman and seconded by Butch Barnes; the reconvened reduction was recorded as agreed by the board following the appraiser’s report.

The record notes the owners provided an appraisal from when the house was finished along with comparison packets to support the correction.
