The appellant appealed the 2017 and 2018 property assessments of his residential property, arguing the value should be reduced to $755,000 due to nuisance factors such as aircraft noise, train traffic, and potential well water contamination.

The respondent MPAC maintained a value of $866,000.

The Assessment Review Board rejected the appellant's expert evidence as poorly explained and inconsistent.

After analyzing comparable sales, the Board determined the current value of the property to be $800,000 and reduced the assessments for both taxation years accordingly.
