If no, list all parcels that are adjoining in separate groupings. *If necessary, attach a separate sheet. N/A Does the subject property have a principal residence exemption of 50% or more? Yes Please Explain Your Answer to this Appeal: The subject parcel (vacant land) was purchased 4/28/23. A building permit for a new single family home was issued 5/8/24. Site inspections revealed the project was partially complete at year end 2024 and 100% complete by mid-2025. Multiple conversations with the owner took place in this time. Petitioner subsequently appealed the 2026 valuation. Multiple conversations ensued in which the assessor endeavored to explain the valuation process to the petitioner. The MBOR made concessions to remedy all identified errors: No garage finish; no patio block; no wainscoting; no ceramic floor. The new construction project was valued utilizing the BSA software which incorporates the county adjusted assessor manual. Land values and ECF analysis were performed in keeping with PA 660 standards. The petitioner requested the ECF be applied differently to his property than all other properties. The township provided all relevent documentation to assist the taxpayer in understanding the creation of the assessed and taxable valuations. Skeptical that information was being witheld, the assessor assured the taxpayer that no additional information could be achieved, even if a FOIA request be made. The FOIA deliverables revealed nothing was being witheld. Additional information to be provided in advance of hearing date.
