Johnson <br />2240 Fox Street <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />To: Board of Appeal and Equalization <br />Re: Valuation of Property at 2240 Fox Street <br />Bacfcaround: <br />Subject property was divided into three parcels: <br />Old 2240 Fox. PID 03-117-23-32-0009, House on 8 acres <br />New 2240 Fox. PID 03-117-23-32-0020. House on 3 acres <br />2260 Fox. PID 03-117-23-32-0019. Vacant Lot <br />2240 Fox. PID 03-117-23-32-0021. Outlot A. vacant lot <br />Reason for Appeal: <br />Property reduced from 8 to 3 acres (63% reduction) <br />But taxable market value increased from $315,500 (2001) to $488,000 <br />(2002), a 55% increase . Limited market value increased from $223,800 to <br />$488,000, an increase of 118%. <br />Valuation Analysis: <br />Three methods were used to estimate market value; <br />1) 2002 proposed valuation is based on <br />300.000 Land Value (61%) <br />188.000 House Value (39%) <br />488.000 Total <br />Land valuation is based on sale of 2260 Fox Street for $330,000. Since 2240 <br />Fox is 3 acres, compared to 5 acres for 2260 Fox, a more accurate estimate of <br />the land value would be: <br />60% X 330,000 = $198,000 <br />This suggests that a better estimate of the value of 2240 Fox Street would be; <br />198.000 Land Value (51%) <br />188.000 House Value (49%) <br />386.000 Total
