The subject property is a 35-year old, one-story masonry dwelling
containing 1,250 square feet of living area. The dwelling has a
full unfinished basement, central air conditioning, and two-car

feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from
$7.06 to $8.55 per square foot of living area. The subject
property has an improvement assessment of $11.02 per square foot
of living area. Based on this evidence, the appellant requested
a reduction in the subject's improvement assessment.
The board of review submitted its "Board of Review Notes on
Appeal" wherein the subject's final assessment was disclosed. In
support of the subject's assessment, the board of review
presented property characteristic sheets and an assessment
analysis of three suggested comparables located in close
proximity to the subject. The comparables consist of one-story
masonry dwellings that are 29 to 38 years old. Features had
varying degrees of similarity when compared to the subject. The
comparables contain from 1,250 to 1,276 square feet of living
area and have improvement assessments ranging from $11.06 to
$11.83 per square foot of living area. Based on this evidence,
