Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

The 2025 assessed values do not exceed 50% of the subject properties market values 

based on comparable sales. Both properties had new duplexes built on them in 2022. 

According to the building permits filed by the petitioner, the estimated cost of 

construction of the duplexes were $200,000 each. This does not include land value. 

The petitioner submitted two properties as comparables to the March Board of Review. 

The subject properties are duplexes consisting of 2,415 square feet each. The 

comparable properties the petitioner used were 3 and 4 units. The 3 unit built in 2021 

has 4,422 square feet, and the 4 unit built in 2022 has 6,024 square feet. Neither of 

these properties have sold. They were built and are owned by the developer to be used 

as rentals. 

The comparable sales used to support the 2025 assessed values are duplexes similar 

in size that have sold within the last few years.
