Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

- Comparable properties are assessed lower. Properties in similar size, condition and 

location to mine are assessed at a lower value. This demonstrates a lack of uniformity 

and fairness in the assessment. 

- 

| am also appealing the assessed value due to a substantial increase in proeprty taxes 

from $3,900 to $8,400 following the uncapping the taxable value. 

| understand that 

uncapping allows reassessment at market value following a transfer of ownership, 

| 

believe the new assessed value does not accurately reflect fair market value of ,y 

property. 

-1 am requesting a review and adjustment to ensure the assessment is fair, equitable 

and reflective. As ths has made my home barely affordable and unsaleable.

the accurate amount based on the information above.
