Board of BE IT RESOLVED that Council sit as the 2008 Board of Revision.
Revision
“Carried”
After careful consideration of the facts presented by the Assessor
and the Appellant, the Board of Revision notes the following:
1. We find that the assessment officer uses reasonable logic in
arriving at the adjusted value following the correction to errors
made during the first sitting of the board. We find that the comparable
properties used, do indeed represent reasonable comparable sales
in other communities and that the time adjustment back to the base
year for assessment reflect typical Niverville trends.
2. We find that housing of this style and type did not exist in
Niverville in 2003 and therefore a direct market comparison for
2003 would not be available.
3. We agree with the assessor that the complainant’s housing
type represents the current upper level of housing classes available
in Niverville and suggest that a reasonable comparison to the upper
level housing classes available in 2003 with adjustments for value
adding features be considered to establishment market value on the
complainant’s residence.
4. Considering point 3, and utilizing the residence found on roll
number 35127 for comparative analysis, with a basement adjustment
of $25,000 to recognize it being finished out; no lot or location
adjustment due to the home being located on a park compared to the
complainant’s home being located on a lake; noting this property
is of almost identical square footage, the Board arrives at a value
of $277,700 for a total assessment.
5. We recognize that assessment value increases on this property
may in the future see a higher than average percentage increase
as market data for the assessment base year becomes available.
Therefore, the board recommends the following:
a. That land assessment remain at $37,700
b. That the building assessment be reduced by $45,200 from the current
assessment of $285,200 to $240,000.
c. That the total assessment of this roll be adjusted to $277,700
from the current revised total of $322,900.
The Board of Revision was adjourned and the report forwarded to
Council.
