Board changes Tabuer parcel classification, drops assessed value to $3,002
Summary
John Tabuer told the BOE his recently purchased lot is hard to access because of more than 80 mailboxes; the board removed the homesite classification and reclassified the lot as woods, reducing assessed value to $3,002.
John Tabuer appeared Aug. 4 before the Shenandoah County Board of Equalization and described access issues to a recently purchased parcel on Supinlick Ridge Rd that is lined with more than 80 mailboxes. Tabuer said he bought the lot on July 19, 2026 for $500 and provided an appraisal showing a $20,000 purchase appraisal and a survey; he told the board he has no plans to develop the property and that the post office said it cannot move the mailboxes.
The minutes record that the board discussed reducing the land value and that a motion was carried "on removing the HOMESITE, and changing it to WOODS, reducing the value to $3,002." The motion was recorded as made by Butch Barnes, seconded by Geary Showman, and the minutes indicate agreement by the members present.
Tabuer supplied an appraisal and survey to support the request; the board's action removed the homesite classification and reclassified the land as woods, producing the recorded assessed-value reduction. The minutes do not record any dissenting votes or further procedural steps such as appeal deadlines.
Board members present for the action were Chairman Geary Showman and members Butch Barnes and Bill Wine; the minutes list the adjustments and the resulting assessed value for the parcel.
