He <br />explained that a Realtor had given him a value of about $20,000 less than the County <br />Assessor's Office did. He added that if nothing was done here, he would take his <br />complaint to the next level. <br /> <br />Mr. Donnelly stated that he looked at Mr. Roof's property a year ago and then a couple <br />weeks ago an assessor came back with a property valuation of $216,000 which was the <br />same. He told Mr. Roof that if he had some comparables, he would be happy to look at <br />them. He added that the house, a couple houses down from Mr. Roof's, was sold for <br />$215,000 and it is a smaller home. <br /> <br />Mr. Roof felt that just because there are a "couple of crazy buyers", that should not make <br />the market. He reiterated that the Realtor said his home was worth $200,000 maximum. <br />He stated these homes do not sell fast because of the price bracket but also because of how <br />high the taxes are getting to be. He suggested his assessment should be lowered. <br /> <br />Mr. Donnelly offered to review his property. <br /> <br />Steve Dvorack, 6641 - 157th Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated he would like someone to look <br />at his house. He felt he would not be able to sell it for the assessed value of $87,600. <br /> <br />Mr. Donnelly stated he would review Mr. Dvorack's home. <br /> <br />Board of Review/April 8, 1996 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
