The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are

The subject property consists of a one and one-half story single
family dwelling with 1,672 square feet of ground area. The
subject dwelling has a frame and vinyl siding exterior, one
fireplace, central air conditioning, a full basement and a two-car
attached garage with 672 square feet. The dwelling was
constructed in 2001. The improvements are located on a ten acre
parcel in Red Bud, Red Bud Township, Monroe County.
The appellant, Keith Conway, appeared before the Property Tax
Appeal Board contending inequity in the improvement assessment as

appellant as either one and one-half story or two-story single
family dwellings that ranged in size from 1,258 to 1,566 square
feet of ground area. Two comparables were similar to the subject
in age while comparable number three was reported to be 25 years
old. Each comparable had a full basement, central air
conditioning, and an attached garage that ranged in size from 575
to 775 square feet. Both comparables number 1 and 3 had two
fireplaces while comparable 2 had no fireplace. The appellant
indicated the comparables sold from November 2002 to May 2004 for
prices ranging from $203,000 to $267,000. These properties had
improvement assessments ranging from $49,300 to $72,220 or from
$34.57 to $55.85 per square foot of ground area. The subject
