Appellant was not present for the hearing. Appellant requested land value per appeal form is $1,000. County recommended sustaining the county value of $76,400 based on the fee simple value of the land and a sale in the area. Ms. Blancett-Maddock moved to sustain the County’s 2022 land value of $76,400 as the appellant did not prove the assessed value of the property exceeds by more than 20% the ratio of assessment to market value. Mr. Harano seconded the motion. Prior to the vote, the appraiser stated the Appeal Data Worksheet is incorrect as she inverted the building and land values. Appraiser confirmed the land value is $196,800 for the land. Ms. Blancett-Maddock withdrew her motion. Board members re-reviewed the information based on the error on the Appeal Data Worksheet presented by the county. Further discussion and questions by the Board were made to the County. Ms. Blancett-Maddock moved to sustain the County’s land value of $196,800 as the tax payer has not shown the assessed value of the property exceeds by more than 20% the ratio of assessment to market value. Mr. Harano seconded the motion. A call for discussion was made. Ms. Blancett-Maddock discussed the purchase price of the property approximately 14 years ago and stated the assessment value hasn’t increased by much. Motion did not pass by a vote of 2:1. Mr. Okumoto was the nay vote, therefore the County assessment stands. CASE #44478 – HUNT,DAVID J TMK 4-5-015-015-0000 Right after this case was called, Mr. Jo received an email immediately from a Hilo Clerk stating Mr. Hunt called the office after 9:00am requesting a streaming link for the appeal hearings. From the appellant’s prior email, Mr. Hunt was moving sailboats in the Seattle area. The Board was informed and they requested Mr. Jo try calling the appellant now as there is no streaming available. Keita called immediately and left Mr. Hunt a voicemail. The parcel is at 45-3355 Ulu Street in Honokaa. Subject is a 16,004 square foot parcel with a 720 square foot dwelling with 0 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The subject parcel has been discounted 20% as it is bordered by 3 roadways. The improvements were built in 2016 and has a grade of 3-. The 2022 land and building values are under appeal. The appellant was not present for the hearing due to reasons mentioned earlier. Documentation from the appellant was included in the appeal packet as to why the appellant is requesting a lowered property value. Appraiser presented the County’s case and recommended sustaining the County’s land value of $166,100 and building value of $159,100. A call for questions was made. Mr. Okumoto moved to sustain the county’s values for both land at $166,100 and building $159,100 because the assessed value of the property does not exceed by more than 20% the ratio of assessment to market value. There is no lack of uniformity or inequality
