May I submit additional information at the hearing?

Submissions

The timely submission of evidence by both parties is essential to the fair hearings process. WAC 458-14-066 sets forth the timing requirements for each party, stating:

  1. The Assessor must provide valuation information to the Taxpayer and to the Board at least 21 business days prior to the hearing
  2. The Taxpayer must provide valuation information to the Board at least 21 business days prior to the hearing

Valuation information

Valuation information includes:

  • Comparable sales
  • Income data and analysis
  • Construction cost analysis
  • Independent appraisals
  • Contractor estimates of costs to repair building or land defects
  • Documents delineating development limitations or easements
