Note: As appellant was not on the phone from the start, prior to moving forward, Deputy Corporation Counsel Sinclair Salas-Ferguson announced the general procedures of the appeal hearing and advised Mr. Boo and the Department of the procedure the Board would be following for the rendering of their decision and the Appellants’ further right to appeal to the Tax Appeal Court located in Honolulu within 30 days from the date of the decision letter that the appellant will be receiving via certified mail. The parcel is a 53.988 acre vacant parcel in Mountain View. The land value is under appeal. The appellant presented his case and based his request of $100,00 is due to no access to property and inequality based on large increase of assessment from prior year. The County presented their case and recommended to lower the land value to $196,600 due to the irregular shape. A call for questions was made. Ms. Diane Blancett-Maddock moved to sustain the county’s recommended land value reduction of $196,600 as the appellant did not prove the assessed value of the property exceeds by more than 20% the ratio of assessment to market value and the appellant did not prove there is a lack of uniformity or inequality resulting from the use of illegal assessment methods or an error in the application of the methods. Seconded by Mr. Okumoto. A call for discussion was made. Motion passed by a vote of 3:0. COMMENT TO COUNTY Ms. Blancett-Maddock commented to county this packet was very confusing as they could not tell where the county information vs the appraiser information was. Mr. Harano agreed but he eventually figured it out. County agreed there were no divider pages which is typically seen in the packets. ANNOUNCEMENTS No announcements ADJOURNEMENT Meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m. Respectfully Submitted, Lisa Miura Real Property Tax Administrator (filling in as Tax Board Clerk)
