Property assessments; presumption of reasonableness
The Town of Burnside Board of Review appeals a circuit court order remanding disputed property valuations to the board. The board contends that its valuations must be upheld because: (1) the property owners have not overcome the presumption that the town assessor correctly valued the properties; and (2) even if the property owners have overcome the presumption of correctness, the valuations must be upheld because credible evidence in the record supports the board’s decision. We conclude that the property owners did not overcome the presumption that the assessor properly valued the properties, and reverse. This opinion will not be published.
