Sample appeal packet — see exactly what you'll get
We render the same packet for every King County address, with your property's data in place of the sample data below. Open the PDF to see the actual layout, the comp adjustment grid, the pre-filled BOE petition fields, and every legal citation. Then come back to generate yours.
The sample is for a fictional 4 BR / 2.75 BA Seattle home at "1234 Sample St, 98115" with a fabricated +22% YoY assessment increase. No real homeowner's data appears anywhere on the page.
What's in the packet (10–14 pages, one PDF)
- 1Filing checklist
A 1-page action card with 5 boxes to tick: print → sign → make a copy → mail Certified Mail → wait for the hearing notice. The 'mail to' address block is right there on the page; you can tear it off and stick it on the envelope. - 2Cover letter to the Board of Equalization
One page, formal letter, dated, addressed to the Board, with signature and print-name lines at the bottom. The first paragraph cites RCW 84.40.038 (the petition authority). The second paragraph is data-driven — picks among three phrasings based on whether the strongest signal in your data is a YoY assessment jump, a recent below-assessment sale, or a comps gap. - 3Pre-filled BOE petition (King County official form)
The official King County Real Property Petition for Review, with every field we can fill from the assessor's data already filled — your parcel number, address, current vs supportable values, your top-4 comp grid (each row with sale date, sale price, AGLA, year built, grade, condition, lot size, zoning, view). You sign the bottom; that's the only handwritten field. - 4Valuation evidence report
The substantive document: subject property summary, 20-year assessment history table, sales history, prior appeals, comparable sales analysis with full adjustment grid (time / sqft / age / grade / condition / lot / view), and the methodology section. Ends with a citations block (RCW 84.40.030, RCW 84.48.010, WAC 458-12-301, RCW 84.40.038). - 5Hearing preparation notes
One page: what to lead with, the three objections the Assessor's office typically raises (and how to counter), three things to avoid, and what to do if the office offers a stipulated reduction before the hearing. Optional reading until the hearing notice arrives.
