Property Appraiser David Nolte explained there was no mistake in the PAO's assessment of the property, but a difference of opinion on a unique piece of property among the appraisers. There was limited sales data and the taxpayer was asking for an amount far above market value. He said the PAO came in with a value two-thirds of the asking price. A discussion ensued on how the property was appraised, the assessed value, and whether the Special Magistrate followed the right steps procedurally. VAB Attorney Napier explained she reviewed the Special Magistrate's recommendation for Petition No. 2015-113 for legal sufficiency; it was her opinion that the magistrate did his job. School Board Member Searcy asked if it would be to the County's advantage to challenge the Special Magistrate's recommendation. A discussion ensued and Property Appraiser Nolte replied that it was the Board's decision as to whether the County or the Special Magistrate granted the reduction and that the Just Value of $6,329,390 was correct. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a 4-1 vote (School Board Member Searcy opposed), the Motion carried. 7.
