"REASON FOR PROTES 

. 

‘State reason(s) for protest of assessed value and/or the tentative 

taxable value "and/or taxable status and/or classification and/or qualified agricultural property exemption 

Late-2025 arms-length purchase was $460,000, establishing True Cash Value at $460,000. The City’s $547,600 

valuation improperly inflates my value by blending my inland neighborhood with the premium beach market west of 

Broadway St. Recent inland sales average $336,000 for similar homes (bedrooms, baths, sqft). Please reduce 

Assessed Value to $230,000. See attached letter and map for more detailed analysis.
