He feels assessed value of house is too high compared to neighborhood and that taxes are too high. (See Letter.) Feels assessment is based on fully complet~d house when the house is is only 35% complete and would like assessment adjusted accordingly. (See Letter.) Property assessment of $133,000. is excessive with a 33% increase in assessment with only a 14% property improvement of a swin~ning pool. Assessment is much greater than fair market price which is around $116,000.00. (See Letter.) Assessment increased by 400% on a vacant piece of property on Lake St. Joe. The entire property is under water. Would like the property designated as wetlands and assessment to reflect a more reasonable and realistic value. (See Letter.) Feel increase of 33% from $163,000.00 to $219,800.00 is excessive with some increase expected for a 10' x 20' addition (See Letter.) Assessed $104,700.00 for 1989. Estimated tax value for 1988 was $90,000.00. Property was sub- divided in 1988 which she believes wasn't taken in account. Property is on market for $99,900.00. Feels a more accurate value would be between $90,000.00 to $95,000.00. (See Letter.) Feels $93,300.00 too high for first year assessment when $70,800.00 would be more realistic. (See Letter.) Ref.
