Board removes nonfunctional silos and reduces values on Bushong parcels

Shenandoah County Board of Equalization · June 4, 2026

Summary

Jason Bushong told the board that silos and a grain bin on PID 7168 are scrap and that PID 7167 is mostly woods; the board removed two silos, a grain bin and two lean-tos and adjusted acreage classifications, lowering the parcels' assessed values.

Jason Bushong appeared in person to contest the valuation of two parcels (PIDs 7167 and 7168). He described PID 7167 as majority woods with only a minimal pasture strip and said that the silos and grain bin on PID 7168 are scrap with holes and nonfunctional; two lean-tos were also described as in poor condition. The board reviewed those conditions and materials presented by the owner.

Chairman Geary Showman moved to reduce the outbuilding value on PID 7168 and reduce the land value on PID 7167; the motion was seconded by Butch Barnes and carried unanimously. The board reclassified PID 7167 acreage (2.023 acres pasture and 18 acres woods), reducing overall value to $138,300. On PID 7168 the board removed two silos, a grain bin and two lean-tos, reducing outbuilding value to $103,623 and overall value to $812,586.
