TAX BILL UPDATE ON PROCESSING CHANGE IN VALUE
March 13,2023
What happens after your appeal?
Per the BOR Office,the decision is held for 35 days at their office then sent over to Real Property Tax Assessment.
Per the Real Property Tax Assessment office they make the changes in value on the website which takes about three weeks,without system interruption.
In my case, the increase of an estimated $575 will post on my June 2023 tax bill.
In my opinion, I was allegedly unjustly fined $575 for exposing the truth about these high @@@ taxes. It's quite alright because I'm not pay a dime of this bullcrap.
There is still time to dispute your high @@@ taxes before March 31,2023.
March 01,2023
YOU HAVE THE POWER IN NUMBERS TO CHANGE THESE HIGH @@@ TAXES
Thousands of homeowners in Oahu appealing property taxes.
Notice the lady in Hawaii taxes are $3,000 and they are fighting by the thousands. I am almost certain her property is well over a half million dollars.
I have posted property taxes in two expensive areas in the country and their taxes are nowhere near this mess in Cuyahoga County.
I believe certain property owners in Cuyahoga County have been over taxed and have been for a long,long,long time.
EVERYBODY in CUYAHOGA COUNTY ARE NOT PAYING THESE HIGH @@@ TAXES.
PEOPLE WAKE UP! !
IT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION!!!!
READ, MY PEOPLE, READ!!!!
New App aims to help Detroiters in their fight against high property taxes. Homeowners in Detroit were overtaxed for years! They did it to the People of Color in Detroit. This is GENERATIONAL wealth STOLEN from PEOPLE OF COLOR .
Wake Up People!
Black Ohio homeowner claims appraisal discrimination. Kudos to the Parkers for standing up. People you are being robbed blind by as much as 23% WAKE UP!
FORMER CAUCASIAN OWNERS GRANTED REDUCTIONS
March 1,2023
The BOR Appeal Board wrote all that legal jargon, to justify why they increased my taxes, on appeal. Prior to the appeal my market value was $216,700, after the appeal it was increased to $232,500 justified by a few case laws.
Tax records for this property show that former owners, who just so happen to be Caucasian, were granted reductions on informal reviews with a few words and one occasion no docs at all.

Informal reviews reductions for 2591 Lee Road:
2003- Hansen denied
2006- Hansen claimed "heavy traffic. very noisey. Senior citizen" ,reduction granted $18,000.
The bells was the noise then and remain a nusiance of peace and enjoyment in the backyard or opening windows at 2591 Lee Road.
Prior to purchase, the property had a tall buffer of hedges in the front yard.
February 2020, I removed the hedges, the noise comes from the excessive church bells, ringing on the hour and every 15 minutes. This is a wood frame house with little or no insulation. There is no justified reason why a church would want or need to ring bells that loud, that long, everyday.
2015- Jenks submitted no docs, reduction granted $9,400
2018- Jenks submitted comps and photos, reduction granted $21,000
The above reductions came without any case law to deny their request upwards of $21,000.
People really need to understand the POWER of a property tax Board, they can tax you out of your property, in a few tax years.
If your taxes exceed your income, you will be forced to sell and deal with another beast called the POSI or foreclose. Failure to pay the POSI or make timely repairs you could lose your house.
Homeowners are struggling to pay high @@@ taxes often will neglect their property,shortly afterwards a violation on their property needs to be addressed. Can't make the repairs, then the cycle of fines ,and more fines until the city has a lien on your property.
If your property is paid off homeowners get behind on property taxes and now they have the city and the county taking their property.
There is a property on Lee Road in close proximity,that has $85K in back taxes, from 2014 their property value is under $170K. This homeowner, who appears to be a senior citizen, has not paid taxes in almost a decade.
Some properties are foreclosed on faster by the County. Case in point, Nina Fielden was a senior citizen, but her property was on Taylor Road.
Something is not right with this system.
THIS IS PUBLIC INFORMATION , SEE WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE PAYING! DISPUTE YOUR HIGH @@@ TAXES!

Those who requested and those who were granted reductions there seems to be an unfair playing field.
This is proof that everyone who owns in this high taxed city are not paying high taxes.

2020 PROPERTY TAX APPEAL JANUARY 19,2023 11:00A.M. VIA TELEPHONE
The devil is always busy. It is a coincidence that during my conference call, four Men of Color were going door to door peddling something, they to went 2585 ,2591 and 2599 video does not show them going across the street peddling /disturbing those neighbors.
There was also a questionable dog walker .
The call was 30 minutes, they paced around for 15 minutes and right as I'm about to give my closing statement, two men started walking up the driveway, as if on command.
I had to pause the conference call to yell at their crazy @@@. They paced at the corner of the driveway and decided to go to 2599. The questionable dog walker pauses in front of my driveway, walks to the corner comes back pauses again,minutes later the four men are standing on the sidewalk, as if they are waiting on a command.
As far as the appeal ,it has not been decided ,whatever the outcome it is final. I am preparing to dispute/appeal the 2022 taxes.
January 07,2023
How did the block stack up?
This is public information located on Cuyahoga County website.
Another year of unfair and questionable taxes on this block of properties from 2537 Lee Road to 2645 Lee Road.
If you don't agree with your property taxes E-file your complaint by March 31,2023,online,request a phone call, avoid Zoom video calls, as this conference will only last 30 minutes and it is recorded with Cuyahoga Board of Revisions. Whatever documents you submit will also be made public information. If you request more than $50,000 reduction the school
board must chime in on it.
You may want to consider turning your resident into a church or non profit business. A mega church estimated market value several millions is paying less than a grand a year for taxes. Go #@$#$#@# fugure.

Watch and wait on them taxes! TAXES NOT FINALIZED ? WHY?
DECEMBER 12,2022
To all those who pay property taxes and have no P.O.S.I. POWER , you might want to go light on your seasonal splurging.
A quick reminder there is a deficit that has been announced and the property taxes have not finalized.
In my opinion ,they are spreading those taxes to the property owners because most don't dispute their taxes and even if they disputed, they will not get a reduction.
Second, plan on filing a dispute for your taxes,if you pay your taxes without a dispute, you are telling the BOR they are correct and most of all fair in your property market value.
Do yourself a favor and file a dispute in 2023 . Filing starts January 1,2023 through March 31,2023.
It takes five minutes to e-file and request a phone call not a Zoom video call.
Reason: You have 30 minutes for the hearing, you don't want to waste it on video technical issues ,this bullcrap happened to me and ran the clock down 15 minutes.
You want to e-file because information tends to become lost in the mail (USPS).
I am waiting to contest and appeal 2022 property tax value for 2591 Lee Road.
Property tax information is public information, see how much your neighbors are paying and if they are getting tax reductions when they request. Then and only then, will you know if you are a tax slave.
TAXES ARE EXCESSIVE IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY,OHIO COMPARED TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY ,CALIFORNIA PROPERTY TAXES
December 12,2022
Relocating from California to Ohio has been a culture,real estate buying and property tax shock. Below is a property on the market for $649,999 in Los Angeles California.
Notice the gradual increase of property taxes since 2014.
The property listed on Zilow was assesssed for $509,745 in 2022 with a property tax of $6,196.
How does one justify these high @@@ taxes?
Even with these high @@@ taxes the county has a deficit in the millions of dollars. I think that is a bald face lie to jack the taxes up even higher.
I say again, there is something suspect that the higherst concentration of "Blacks" in Ohio are in Cuyahoga County, as well as the unconstitutional Point Of Sale Inspection tied to the property that has alleged select enforcement.
These two vices control the wealth of the population in Cuyahoga County.
There are 88 counties in Ohio , Cuyahoga County are allowed to place a POSI on property and charge excessive taxes when no other counties are doing this bullcrap.
The "Black" population should be outraged as public information published by reliable sources show a clear pattern of alleged UNJUST taxes and UNJUST real eastate transferring.
Not only have I read the reliable sources , I am a victim of alleged UNJUST taxes and real estate transferring. I'm paying taxes on a property that will not sell for $200K or $100K due to the repairs needed and alleged POSI select enforcement.
In a nutshell, the taxes alone could pay the mortgage and taxes on another property of equal value. In other words, your @@@ is being gutted and rutted.
As long as you allow this bullcrap they will dump it on your backs. WAKE UP,STAND UP!
Based on my home buying across the country property assessment is often 10-20 percent less than the actual value.
November 17,2022
HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR MIRRORS THE HIGHEST TAXED AREAS IN OHIO AND CITIES WITH POSI.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN FORMING.
This data was collected by other resources starting with the
1. Ohio Cities with the Largest population{2022} African American Population by city in Ohio
2. Cleveland Ohio Highest Property Taxes in Ohio-Avoid These 6 Places-
3. List of cities in the Cleveland Area That Require Point of Sale Inspection
Cleveland Heights checks off all three boxes. In my research, cities in Ohio go hand in hand with large population of People Of Color, highest taxes and a POSI control over residents most valued asset.
If you are property owner making a decent income to a six figure income you are paying a large chuck of your paycheck to the County for taxes.
It's a clever system in place, the POSI controls your equity and ability to sell or rent and the taxes milk your @@@ to death so you can't afford to make improvements or forced foreclosure or forced to sell for less than it's worth to avoid another inspection/escrow.
This is not affordable living it is generational wealth STOLEN from your family.
The right amount of taxes will make your property unaffordable real quick.
Do your own homework to find out if you are a tax slave.
Pull all your neighbors taxes on your block , how many requested for a tax reduction and how many were granted. Now look to see who lives/owns that house, are they People of Color or Caucasian ?
If you dont want to be a tax slave your option is to relocate to greener pastures.
In my opinion. building generation wealth via real estate for People of Color are at a much higher risk than Caucasian homeowners in Cleveland Heights.
NOVEMBER 07 2022
Tax hearing -NO Change - Moving on to Appeal-
I have lived all over the country and never seen taxes this high.
If you have filed for a reduction more than once and never had a tax reduction you are a tax slave.
You can not build generational wealth with a POSI and unjust excessive taxes.
WAKE UP MY PEOPLE!
October 19,2022
BOR HEARING
OCTOBER 19, 2022
9:30 A.M. TO 10:00 A.M.
Check back in two to three weeks for the results and my review of the BOR process.
Per the BOR, the audio of the hearing is kept on file.
October 08 ,2022
BOR HEARING OCTOBER 19,2022
What, Why, Who and How will be posted after the hearing. Will I need to appeal ?
September 25,2022
BOR HEARING SET OCTOBER 19,2022
This email will be sent to Cuyahoga BOR hearing as part of the reasons why this property is not valued at @$216K rather much less, closer to $84K,
which includes the land and garage, the house should be demolished, as the repairs exceed the the cost to build a new house from the ground up and correct the long overdue repairs.
A copy of the letter and photos will be posted.
For security reasons, I will not submit interior photos. When I vacate the property photos/video will be posted of the interior.
I am currently under attack by a network of people, who want me to move away from Cleveland Heights, as soon as possible, due to my yard signage, race, religion and other ignorant reasons.
I am a victim of an elaborate mortgage fraud scheme and later fleeced by most of the contractors, for repairs to make the property somewhat livable.
If not for my years experience in the military, building houses with Habitat for Humanity and You Tube videos this house would have been abandoned by me, as the subpar work was clearly a sham job.
Made to look good for photos and inoperable.
From the photos that were posted online the interior looked like a well built remodel. Apparently, they were photoshop to make it look great.
Because of pending legal issues please refer to www.2591Leeroad.com, www.princessadaisrael.com and www.posohio.org those website will shed more light on this property.
The property would not have sold to me, if the Point of Sale Inspection ( POSI) would have been disclosed to me in November 2019, per the city ordinance, while I was residing in California.
The property have excessive repairs that should have prompted the former owners to demolish rather than attempt to remodel.
The City of Cleveland Heights have failed to send upon requests all files associated with the property that showed a clearance letter from the city to the title company to transfer 2591 Lee Road, allegedly, the property did not transfer in accordance to the city ordinance.
A clearance letter from the city would have included an approved POSI and a signed copy of the POSI acknowledgement form from me.
I did not see a copy until February 25 ,202o when a contractor told me to visit city hall for a copy.
To this day, no one was persecuted and the statute of limitation expired for the city ordinance violations.
All associated contractors/ parties allegedly, played their part by giving this property a green light, when it was a dump and infested with groundhogs.
Groundhogs were so bad they were present while remodeling the property.
March 2020, groundhogs awaken from their slumber, they were running up to the door sitting on the porch, front and back, in the garage as far as I could see groundhogs were roaming on the property, like a herd of cattle grazing and the stench was nauseating when the snow melted.
As a former landscaper, it appeared to be an unkempt property for many years. I ordered dumpsters and removed all low hedges and tree debris from the property.
I had three trees removed from the front and two from the rear. The staggering cost for tree removal and companies wanting me to sign a waiver for damages ceased all tree removal.
I have had trees removed from other homes and all tree service companies carry insurance.
I couldn't take the chance that the tree service would drop a tree on the house, to help expedite my move or give them the joy of dropping a tree on this property that rightfully so, should be demolished,
Where does one start with the repairs.
Putting a paint job over dry rot, faulty electrical, slow drainage due to shifted sanitary line, dead and dangerous trees on the property, leaking roof, broken gutters, most of the remodel was subpar work that in the two years with one person occupying the property most has fallen apart in excess of $200K in repairs.
It appeared to be a staged house because the "new" installs were not connected properly.
There is a new central heating and cooling that does not work properly.
New mix matched appliances all have had some issues the dishwasher does not work.
The new sink on the marble countertops fell through, as it was held together with four clips oppose to six and had a small bead of glue on the sink.
The sink fell through due to an over size garbage disposer installed that stopped working after a few uses.
I purchased another sink and contacted plumbers for the install, none would install the sink because the hole cut in the granite was too small.
One company quoted me $5000 to replace the kitchen sink and I would need to sign a waiver if they broke the granite.
With all the quotes above my budget, I installed the sink to the best of my ability, which is not to specs or how the sink was intended for install.
It works for me but may not work for most people.
The former sink was an irregular size.
The stove/oven have some issues, the refrigerator stopped working and via You Tube I repaired the issue.
The new vinyl kitchen flooring has started to warp due to poor installation, the garbage disposal, dishwasher and sink that all flooded the floor before stopping completely.
The living room floors have holes in the floor that were covered by the staging sofa, as well as the front door there is some damage in the threshold.
The porch roof leaks through the first floor main doorway.
The doors on the first floor are single pane windows and need upgrading. I had a quote to replace all the doors downstairs and the labor was in excess of $20K ,without selecting a door.
All the bathrooms have mix matched fixtures chrome and satin finishes, slow drainage for the shower and toilets backs up sometimes.
I have never used the master bathroom because a plumber inspected the shower stated it has a leak in the walls.
He advised not to use the master bathroom shower it was not part of the remodeled.
The master bathroom bathtub pipes are not secured properly, Its just a show piece.
In the winter, it looks like an ice castle and in the monsoon season, it resembles waterfalls due to broken gutters, which floods the basement and water come in through, poorly installed brand new windows on the above floors that the Seller installed.
I replaced the dry rotted basement windows weeks after purchase in 2020 and replaced leaking pipes, that was a band aid for the leaking basement.
The source of the leak is the sloped foundation by the basement door and broken gutters.
In my opinion, the basement door should have remained a window oppose to making it a door.
The door provides access to move large items into the basement but was a horrible mistake, as this is the main entry for water.
The new flooring on the landing has already warped due to the yard flooding and running into the basement.
I use hay in the backyard to help absorb the water during the winter and monsoon season.
The backyard have a lot of holes dug by animals which causes the flooding.
The basement stairs are a death trap, I keep the basement light on because there is no wall switch on the landing, coming from the first floor to turn on the lights.
I'm not an appraiser but the VA would have made the Sellers correct this issue, as it is a safety hazard.
The washer and dryer needs replacing but will be difficult to find a replacement, as it is a smaller stackable combo.
The death trap stairs should have prompted the former owners to bring the washer and dryer to the first floor or the garage.
I rarely use the washer and dryer, I use a portable hand washer or go to the public laundry.
The new furnace/ac was not installed properly the duct work does not carry the air to the vents.
A contractor informed me there may not be any ductwork ,just vents.
Only a few vents get air, the downstairs ac blows cold but goes to a few vents.
The upstairs ac/heater are inoperable, a technician quoted me almost $2000 for labor ,the part is covered under the warranty.
I currently spot cool and heat the property with space heaters in the winter and fans with frozen bottles of waters placed in front of the fans in the summer.
I do not open the windows due to industrial noise made by the church bells and it is not safe to sleep with windows open these days.
The brand new windows leak installed by the Sellers.
I currently have plastic curtains to avoid mold and place towels down during the rain and winter snow melt.
The attic that was remodeled is not usable. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
The attic bathroom have a spongy floor which has new flooring over dry rot.
A contractor using a machine said it had a high water moisture reading. There are water stains on the fresh painted ceilings ,on the second and first floor and some of the ceiling is starting to peel.
The first floor dining and hallway have popcorn ceilings that need removing and old lighting fixtures blinks when under a load or don't come on at all.
The living room, dining room and hallway have old fixtures and old wiring that need replacing.
I do not use the interior overhead lighting I use USB portable lights at night.
Only the porch lights and garage lights come on dusk to dawn are LED lights used for security purposes.
I run extension cords throughout the house to balance the load upstairs.
There are two old sockets in the the two smaller bedrooms ,four newer sockets in the master bedroom and one new socket in the bathroom.
The occupancy states 14, which would be impossible to have more than two people residing at the property due to the lack of electrical outlets and plumbing issues.
The electrical box was replaced after I moved in due to being overloaded.
This was a band aid on the electrical, as devices get hot when plugged into wall sockets, ceiling lights flicker or don't come at all sometimes.
The plumbing is slow to drain and water sometimes has rust come out of the pipes.
A plumber using a sewer cam showed the sanitary line shifted in the front yard by the large tree next to the house.
I have a copy of the video and watched the cam when it was inside the pipes.
I was quoted $15,000 in 2020 to replace the sanitary line and have the access trap near the street.
I placed a band aid on the sanitary line repair by cutting down the tree, killing the root that was pushing the pipe. using less water , limited flushing, showering/ bathing, washing of dishes and clothes.
The property is in close proximity to industrial zone noise levels, every hour and 15 minutes within the hour, ringing church bells makes this unbearable to enjoy events outside or open windows for fresh air.
Sometimes the church plays full songs on the bells that go on for 30 minutes. This is a noise nuisance that cannot be taken to court, due to religion.
Houses in the area should have a discount in property taxes because everyone do not like to here bells all day long and long term noise lead to medical issues.
I never would have purchased this property if I heard them bells.
On Friday, February 14,2020 evening when the property closed I arrived at the property and the bells were clanging like crazy.
I thought it was due to Valentine day. This bell ringing went on for a year appearing to get louder. the more improvements I made the louder the bells rang.
A disclosure to future homeowners buying in the area should be mandatory, in transferring this property. The bell house is directly in my backyard.
This church spans almost two blocks, pay the least amount in taxes and makes the most noise on the block.
To deal with the bells I keep my windows closed and when I am working outside I have my music to try and drown out the bells.
I do believe that they have the ability to adjust the volumn of the bells, sometimes they are really load and at times they sound distant.
I have lived in the vicinity of Mega churches with bells and never heard them ring everyday on the hour and very fifteen minutes or play 30 minutes of bell ringing.
This is a religious expression that is forced upon every homeowner/business owner in the area.
The property is not situated to block the sounds of the bells, it would take a wooded area with redwood trees to block the soundwaves.
Prior to purchase I heard no church bells ringing.
The trees on the property and property line are dead ,chewed from the root/trunk by animals or dangerous spanning through powerlines.
Tree quotes for tree removal was around $20K.
The backyard is unusable due to falling branches and low powerlines.
I had the electrical lines quoted, to bury, the garage, Internet and main power lines came to $17K .
The next door neighbor's lines cross over the back of my yard. If work is needed they have to access my property.
For the past two winters, both our lines have snapped due to tree branches, high winds or heavy icicles.
The lines should be buried to avoid interruption of services. The snow cause delays in getting the repairs.
The property is in close proximity to someone using a signal jamming device. The problem became so bad I posted it on www.posohio.org and contacted the FCC. The issue stopped in part.
When I plugged the radio in the kitchen or master bedroom it would be turned off.
I have video of this whole ordeal showing me plugging in the device and within minutes it would be shut down. This is when I knew it was someone jamming the signal.
That problem has been partly resolved as my devices are jammed when I'm mowing my yard with my radio.
My device can play 10 hours on a single charge I barely barely get 1 hour to 2 hours playing time at this property.
The device was sent to family members and have played with no issues for 10 hours. The devices were returned and the draining issues resumed.
My Internet speed is not what I am paying for, the Internet company has been called numerous times and can't find a problem.
May 2022 I went through three modems in one month, trying to resolve the issue.
There seems to be someone controlling the speed.
After several attempts by the Internet provider they informed me to test my speed and if it is slow call in and get credit for that day.
I assumed they placed the lines above ground due to the infestation of groundhogs and other possible wildlife on the property.
Both Jenks in 2011 and myself in 2020 placed the property back on the market shortly after purchase.
The POSI is the reason I am unable to sell this property and if I did place it on the market no one would pay $232K for this property.
I am not in a position to play games with the city and pay whatever amount they decide on repairs.
I have asked for a waiver and was denied the only thing the city will waive is the inspection fee of $200,what a jacked up situation.
This is a VA loan and I am not able to have the loan assumed due to excessive repairs and the POSI.
The first week of March 2020, I awaken to what appeared to be a scene from a Steven King horror movie, a colony of groundhogs covered the front and backyards running up on the porches and all over the property.
This colony of rodents come from years of leaves in the back yard that was knee deep, tree debris that was as tall as the garage and wide as the garage, excessive unkempt flora was my initial educated guestimate.
After cleaning the property of all the low ground covering ,shrubs tree debris and leaves around July 2020 there was no sign of any wildlife until after I removed my property off the market prior to Easter Sunday 2021.
Around October 202o I installed security cameras due to the issues with trespassers. Little did I know I would uncover the source of the wildlife infestation.
Easter Sunday 2021 my cameras captured a person placing two baby groundhogs near my property. The two groundhogs tore up my front yard daily. The front yard has been reseeded several times due to controlled released groundhogs and skunks.
Halloween 2021, I saw a human figure release a possum onto my yard.
In the wintertime, after shoveling my walkway or driveway a possum ,skunk or raccoon runs across my yard, as if they are released from a cage. This is someone in close proximity hating on my shoveled driveway.
After using every device possible to eradicate these rodents a lone skunk comes on the property at night and early mornings and dig up the front yard, the same area.
Tearing up the yard and pooping, as if it it is under command and leave as if it is under command.
The property is in close proximity to animal hoarder(s) based on over a year of video surveillance.
Those who have owned this property knew this issue was a problem, hence that is why the property has been sold in the winter months when wildlife is hibernating.
The wood good neighbor fence needs to be replaced with a concrete fence to help stop the controlled wildlife from coming on the property.
My chain link fence is barricaded due to wildlife coming under the gates.
The front yard may appear to be manicured it is 90% weeds ,5% grass and 5% clovers every time I seed the yard trespassers and wildlife trample and tear up the yard.
The wood cedar siding is falling off with the wind, it will crumble in your hands.
I requested quotes from paint companies and a few informed me that they will not paint or guarantee rotten wood.
The cedar siding have been painted over which is now dry rot. A quote of $20K to remove the siding and repair all the dry rot soffits.
All the gutters ,downspouts and soffits are in need of replacing quoted $10K to install all new and any dry rot would be additional.
Per a roofer the flat top roof is a sheet of tar paper laid on the roof .
The side porch is painted dry rot, I laid fence boards over the porch to help reinforce it.
The screens need replacing I placed plastic curtains over them because they were so dirty. The porch needs to be demolished as well as the house.
The quotes may be a bit higher because I'm a single, Woman of Color, all in all this house has some serious issues.
To restore this house properly would take $500K, this property is a wooden house that has been neglected over the years and nothing special.
The next owners need to apply for a petition to have it demolished.
TAXES TO DARN HIGH!
REQUESTING TAX REDUCTIONS OVER $50,000
THE SCHOOL BOARD IS NOTIFIED 06/12/2022
I contacted the property tax office to find out when will my hearing be scheduled. I filed in January 2022,the tax office notified the School Board April 27,2022,they have 30 days to inform the Tax Board if they will dispute the $50,000 deduction or allow it.
Per the Property tax office once they receive their answer they can schedule. If they are disputing my reduction they will also attend the BOR hearing.
For future references, maybe I should have disputed my reduction at $49,999 to have a faster hearing. There were over 10,000 property disputes filed for 2021 taxes year.
WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING? 03/10/2022
In 2019, my California taxes on a $226,243 accessed property was $3,377 that included city/county taxes, veteran exemption and a county energy home improvement loan for a new roof and windows. According to County Records.
Since 1975 the property has changed owners four times.
January 1,1975 - February 23,2011 Hansen filed two tax disputes one in 2003 with no changes and one in 2006 with $18,000 in total property value reduction.
February 23,2011 - July 19,2019Jenks filed two tax disputes,2010 reduction granted $48,700
2018 reduction granted $140,000a total of $188,700 in property value reduction.
July 19,2019-February 14,2020 No disputes filed by the investors/owners. Purchased for $100,000 sold to an out of state buyer, (who had no knowledge of the POS nor did the realtor disclose the POS inspection ) for $232,500 a house flip in eight months. No buyer would have bought this property for this price with the POS inspection in hand walking the property.
February 14,2020 - present Pending dispute by Israel for 2021 property value. According to County property records Jenks had the lowest property value of $100,000 and Israel, a woman of Color has the highest property value $216,700 in the recorded online history. Also note, Jenks and Johnson were aware of the POS Inspection and signed off prior to purchase. Israel was not made aware of the 2019 POS Inspection long list of excessive and expensive repairs until February 25,2020 after purchase. The land and garage are of the only value, property should have been demolished. It appears that the property exchanged owners twice in the month of February when the infestation of groundhogs were in hibernation. Jenks and Israel both tried to sale after purchase in 2011 and 2020.
2591 LEE ROADP
Property is Not for Sale.
This century old home has century old problems. The excessive repairs and high taxes are not a good investment or affordable.
If there was no POS inspection a preservation contractor could rehab the property for about $500K.
POS INSPECTION REQUIRED TO TRANSFER.
