(The petitioner's estimate of actual value must be included.) Attach additional sheets if necessary. Please review the 2001 actual value, which is currently$400,529. This value was entirely assessed at agricultural rates, resulting in a tax bill of$3829.24. The 2002 value was based on reclassifying the property, with some as commercial, then the 2003 tax year, reclassified the commercial portion to residential. After reclassification (with $210,463 classified as residential, and the remaining$87,098 classified as ag),the total assessed value in 2002 was (or should be)$35,648. Using the 2001 mill levy of 83.553 mills, the property tax should have been $2978.50. Instead,the taxes paid for that year were$3829.24. To reflect true market value as of June 30, 2000, and to ensure equitable property taxes for the owner, we request that the value be reduced to$297,561, with$210,463 classified as residential, with the remainder classified as ag, resulting in a property tax refund of$850.73 plus interest.
