MANA 

Te

EXHIBIT A 

REASON FOR APPEAL 

The subject property’s state equalized value and taxable value for the 2025 tax year are excessive 

based upon comparable sales of similar units within the condominium association during the 

2023 and 2024 tax years and significant deferred maintenance issues within the unit, It is 

apparent that the assessor has not reviewed those sales and the unit’s condition in arriving at the 

proposed true cash value for the property. 

The property’s substandard condition was a primary issue when the parties negotiated the sale 

price for the property. A summary of those issues is as follows: 

¢ 

Flooring (original carpet in terrible condition) 

* 

Plumbing issues (bathroom fixtures and problems with the bathtub that must be 

addressed) 

* 

Painting (the entire unit required new paint because of smoking stains) 

¢ 

Electrical (defective light fixtures and outlets) 

¢ 

Deck (rotted wood on the deck) 

® 

Repairs to dishwasher & garbage disposal 

® 

Garage door receiver & opener 

All the above items contributed to the purchase price agreed by the parties. 

Petitioner has filed Form 865, “Request for Nonconsideration of True Cash Value of Normal 

Repair, Replacement and Maintenance Expenditures” confirming those expenditures that were 

necessary and that were considered by the parties when negotiating the purchase price for the 

subject property, and that have been required to make the unit reasonably habitable (see copy 

attached). 

As noted, there have been two recent sales of condominium units within the condominium 

association, including the subject property. As indicated above, the subject property, in an arm’s 

length transaction, was purchased for $100,000 (copy of recorded Warranty Deed attached). This 

was not a distressed or auction sale and, as indicated above, was duly negotiated by the parties. 

A second unit (Unit 101) also sold within the condominium association for $110,000 in an arm’s 

length transaction in 2023. A copy of the Warranty Deed is also attached confirming that sale. 

Again, it was not a distressed or auction sale that was duly negotiated by the parties. 

All units in the association have virtually identical floor plans. The deeds were recorded and

obtained for the property at private sale and not forced or auction sale. The sale price of the 

subject property ($100,000) is the best evidence of the property's true cash value and is 

consistent with the legislatures statutory definition. 

Therefore, the Petitioner requests that the Board of Review assess the subject propeity’s true 

cash value at $100,000, the sales price for the subject property, with a corresponding state 

equalized value of $50,000 and taxable value of $50,000.
