The property was extensively renovated prior to the 2006 assessment inspection, and divided into two PINS for TY 2006. On our inspection conducted on 211012006, it was noted that the exterior renovations were complete, and the property was assessed as a completed structure. A change of assessment notice was issued to Domus Building Arts LLC on May 3oth of 2006. Domus Building Arts LLC had in fact only finished the exterior renovations, and sold the property to a Mr. and Mrs. Paul Anderson in May of 2006 as an incomplete structure. The Andersons had no knowledge of the assessment issued, and Domus did not file an appeal on the notice they received. After receiving the tax bills for the property, the current owners informed us that the property was in fact in an incomplete state on January lSt of 2006, and futher investigation revealed a data entry error on the square footage of the lot when the split was processed. The current property owner has submitted digital photos showing that the property was in fact in an incomplete state in May of 2006 when they purchased it. The requested COV will correct the issues of the lot size and properly consider the actual condition of the house for T Y 2006. 133 Monlgorneiy Street, Suile 503 Post Office Box 9786 Savannah, Georgia 31412-9786. 912-652-7271 Fax: 912-652-7301 www.chathamcoun~.org/assessor.hIml Chatham County Board of Assessors Corrective Prior Year COV Request Date of Meeting: 312012007 Pin: Owners Name: Property Address: 6-0737 -01-013 Moore Mary Et Al* 0000 Telfair Road Prior Tax Year 2005 Value: Original Tax Year 2006 Value: Corrective Tax Year 2006 Value: $72,500.00 $261,500.00 $177,500.00 Appraiser: Michael Rodgers Explanation: For TY 2006, vacant properties along this part of Telfair Road were adjusted from residential values to the more appropriate industrial values keeping in line with the current zoning of I2 (Heavy Industrial).

BACKGROUND: Georgia Code 48-5-7.2 for the purpose of this article, "Rehabilitated Historic Property" means tangible real property which qualifies for listing on the Georgia Register of Historic Places. Legislation was passed allowing property owners to qualify for Preferential Assessment if substantial rehabilitation of the property was initiated after January 1, 1989 and property was certified as rehabilitated historic property by the Department of Natural Resources after July 1, 1989. OCGA 48-5-7.2-(a) (3) FACTS AND FINDINGS: Under Code Section 48-5-7.2 subsection (B), the property owner has t o increase the fair market value of the building or structure by not less than 50% for an owner occupied residential property being rehabilitated, or in the case of income producing real properties, the rehabilitation has increased the fair market value of the building or structure by not less than 100°/~, in the case of real property used primarily as residential property, the rehabilitation has increased the fair market value of the building or structure by not less than 75%. OGCA 48-5-7.2-(a) (1) (B) The rehabilitation must meet the standards as provided in regulations promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources and has been certified by the Department of Natural Resources as Rehabilitated Historic Property eligible for preferential assessment. OCGA 48-5-7.2-(a) (1) (C) (D) The preferential classification and assessment of the Rehabilitated Historic Property shall apply to the building or structure which is the subject of the rehabilitation, the real property on which the building or structure is located, and not more than two acres of real property surrounding the building or structure. The remaining property shall be assessed for tax purposes as otherwise provided by law. OCGA 48-5-7.2-(a) (2) State Law provides for certain procedures that must be followed when reviewing applications for rehabilitated historic property preferential assessment: OCGA 48-5-7.2 (a) (1) (A) Owners must have property classified as rehabilitated historic property and listed on (1) the Georgia Register of Historic Places. OCGA 48-5-7,2 (a) ( I ) (A) Owners must have applied for certification to the Department of Natural Resources (2) and have been certified after July 1, 1989. OCGA 48-5-7-2 (a) (2) Owners must increase the fair market value of the building or structure by not less (3) than 50% for a building that is owner occupied, or 100% for a building that is income producing, or 75O/o in the case where the building is primarily residential but partially income producing. OCGA 48-5-7.2 (a) (1)(8) OR I f the property owner can document expenditures on rehabilitation of owner-occupied property of not less than 50 percent of the fair market value of the building or structure .at the time o f the preliminary certification of the property or, in the case of income-producing property 100 percent, or 75 percent in the case of real property used primarily as residential property but partially as income-producing property, the county board of assessors shall be required to grant preferential assessment to such property. OCGA 48-5-7.2 (e) (4) A copy of the preliminary certification shall be submitted to the County Board of Tax Assessors. The County Board of Tax Assessors shall not increase the assessed value of such property during the period of rehabilitation of such property, not to exceed two years. During such period of rehabilitation of the property, the county tax receiver or tax commissioner shall enter upon the tax digest a notation that the property is subject to preferential assessment and shall also enter an assessment of the fair market value of the property, excluding the preferential assessment authorized by this code section. OCGA 48-5-7.2 (c) The period of rehabilitation of such property shall not exceed two years. The period of rehabilitation shall be two (2) year from the date that the Department of Natural Resources approved by signing the Preliminary Certification. ***BOA- After receiving preliminary certification, the value frozen or not increased, is the last digest value. Example: Preliminary CertificationTax Year Received (1999) Last Approved Diaest Value before 1999 digest approved $30,000 Jan-Aug 1999 Current Value in Process 1998 $ 6 0 0 0 0 Year Value Freeze $30,000 Account Correction is submitted to tax commissioner indicating the Preliminary Certification code and the value of the property at Preliminary Certification. Upon receiving final certification, an owner shall make application to t h e County Board of Tax Assessors and submit the application. A value shall be entered o n the Tax Digest equal to the greater of the acquisition cost of the property or the assessment of the fair market value as recorded in the County Tax Digest at the time preliminary Certification was received by the board of Tax Assessors. Property which has been classified by the County Board of Tax Assessors as Rehabilitated Historic Property shall be eligible for the preferential assessment the tax year following the year in which preliminary certification was filed with the County Board of Tax Assessors shall be considered and counted as the first year of eligibility. Property classified as rehabilitated historic property shall be recorded upon the tax digest as provided in this Code section for nine consecutive assessment years, and the notation "rehabilitated historic property" shall be entered on the tax digest adjacent t o the valuation of such property to indicate that the property is being preferentially assessed. (5) Example: OCGA 48-5-7.2 (e), (g) (1) Sales Price Digest at (Prelim) Certification Date Filed W/Prelim Years of Eliqibility Value Freeze $25000 $12000 $70000 $22000 $30000 $68000 1/lo/99 31 23199 1/1/2000-2008 1/1/2000-2008 1/1/1999-2007 $25000 $30000 $70000 4114/98 ***An account correction must b e done to change to the greater of t h e sales price or the value at preliminary certification in the exemption section of the account correction form. The fair market value for the first eight years in which the property is classified as (6) "rehabilitated historic property," the value shall equal the greater of the acquisition cost of the property or the appraised fair market value of the property as recorded in the county tax digest at the time preliminary certification on such property was received by the county board of tax assessors pursuant to Section 58-5-7.2 (c). Example: TAX YEAR (7) FINAL VALUE FREEZE FMV VALUE TAXED VALUE For the ninth year in which the property is classified as "rehabilitated historic property," the value o f the property as determined by division (i) of this subparagraph plus one-half of the difference between such value and the current fair market value exclusive of the provision of this subparagraph. For the tenth and following years, the fair market value of such property as determined by the provisions of Code Section 48-5-7.3. EXAMPLE: TAX YEAR FRZ FINAL VALUE $20,000 9 $350,000-$20,000= $330,000 FAIR MKT VALUE $350,000 $330,000/2 FMV DIFFERENCE $330,000 TAXED VALUE $18 5,000 +$20,000 OCGA 48-5-2.3 (C) (i) (ii) (iii) A property owner who fails to have property classified as rehabilitated historic (8) property and listed on the Georgia Register of Historic Places for the preferential assessment shall be required to pay the difference between the amount of taxes on t h e property during the period that the assessment was frozen and the amount of tax which would have been due had the property been assessed at the regular fair market, plus interest at the rate prescribed in Code Section 48-2-40. The tax commissioner or tax receiver shall also enter upon the digest an assessment of the fair market value of the property each year. OCGA 48-5-7.2(~)(3) When the property has once been classified and assessed as rehabilitated historic (9) property, it shall remain so classified and be granted the special assessment until the property becomes disqualified by any one of the following: Written notice by the taxpayer to the county tax commissioner or receiver to (1) remove the preferential classification and assessment; Sale or transfer of ownership making the property exempt from property (2) taxation; (3) Decertification of such property by the Department of Natural Resources. (4) The expiration of nine years during which the property was classified and assessed as rehabilitated historic property. The sale or transfer to a new owner shall not operate to disqualify the property from preferential classification and assessment so long as the property continues to qualify as rehabilitated historic property. OCGA 48-5-7.2 (h) (1) (2) (3) (4) Appeals from the denial of an application for preferential assessment by the (10) Board of Assessors shall be made in the same manner that other property tax appeals are made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311. OCGA 48-5-7.2(a) (3) (e) (11) Any person who is aggrieved or adversely affected by any order or action of the department of Natural Resources pursuant to this Code section shall, upon petition within 30 days after the issuance of such order or taking of such action, has a right to a hearing before an administrative law judge appointed by the Board of Natural Resources. The hearing before the administrative law judge shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 13 of Title 50, the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act." The decision of the Administrative law judge shall constitute the final decision of the board and any party to the hearing, including the Department of Natural Resources, sh;all have the right of judicial review thereof in accordance with the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act." OCGA 48-5-7.2(i) The taxes and interest deferred pursuant to this code section shall constitute a prior (12) lien and shall attach as of the date and in the same manner and shall be collected as are other liens for taxes, as provided for under this title, but the deferred taxes and interest shall only be due payable, and delinquent as provided in this Code section.

For tax year 2005 this parcel was a new hotel valued by the income approach. There was a Board of Equalization hearing (No ShowINo Change), and the fair market value of $4,651,500 was frozen for the tax years 2005,2006, and 2007.

The subject property is either the high end of the $70 to $100 range o r the low end of the Over $100 range. We went with the Over $100 range as the property owner will supply us with actual Income & Expense data if we estimate above what the property is actually performing at, but will not tell us if we come in to low. That gave a value of $6,264,659 for the Motel. In January 2006, a permit for $700,000 was issued for the Sam Snead's Tavern. In December 2006, a certificate of occupancy was issued for the tavern.

If the property did not exist in the prior year the Base Year shall be the taxable year in which the exemption under this Act is granted. "Adjusted base year assessed value" means an amount equal to the assessed value of such homestead for the base year, increased annually by the percentage of any increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor from the base year to the current year. However, in the event that the assessed value for the current year is less than or equal to the assessed value for the base year, then the adjusted base year assessed value shall equal the current year assessed value. This applies to ad valorem taxes levied by the City of Savannah as well as the Chatham County and City of Savannah School District. "Homestead" means homestead as defined and qualified in Code Section 48-5-40 of the O.C.G.A., with the additional qualification that it shall include only the primary residence, typical auxiliary buildings, typical other improvements, and not more than five contiguous acres of land immediately surrounding such residence. "Addition" means a physical addition to the improvements or the land and would be considered an improvement to the property and added to the base year value. "Deletion" means the removal or demolition of improvements or subdivision the land and would reduce the base year value. "Maintenance" means and shall include normal up-keep of existing improvements and will include those items increasing the improvement value (excluding the land value) by less than 50% and would not be considered an improvement and therefore would not increase the base year value. Such items may include, but not be limited to, replacing the roof, shutters, screens, or worn out heatingkooling systems or floor covering. PROCEDURE FOR POLICY IMPLEMENTATION 1. For existing properties (listed in the TY2000 digest) with a regular or special homestead exemption, Stephens-Day will be granted automatically, based on the existing homestead qualifications which include ownership and occupancy. Also, see the opinion of County Attorney R. Jonathan Hart, dated January 17,2001. 2. For existing properties that have an increase in value, that does not include improvements or additional land, the exemption will increase by the amount of the differencebetween the base year value and the current year value. 3. For existing properties that have an increase in value because of an addition, improvement, and/or additional land, the base year value will be increased by the value of the addition added to the real estate. If any difference exist between the adjusted base year value and the current year value, the exemption will increase by that amount. 4. For existing properties that have deletions (loss of improvements or land size), the base year value will be adjusted to reflect the removal and the exemption recalculated accordingly. 5. For new parcels andlor new improvements (those that did not exist in the prior year digest), the base year value will be the same as the current year value, based on the year the application is filed. 6. For parcels larger than five acres, the property owner will be allowed up to 5.50 acres for the exemption. This is due to the margin of error that was part of the rubber-sheeting of parcels when the tax maps were digitized. 7. For parcels greater than 5.50 acres, the owner will not receive the benefit of Stephens-Day until or unless the parcel size is changed to fall within the size allowed by law (ie. parcel split). 8. The exemption will only apply to properties that have a primary use of residential (3 units or less). 9. The exemption will apply to all improvements on the parcel. Existing homesteaded properties that do not qualify for the Stephens-DayExemption will be notified by mail and asked to contact the Board of Assessors for information about how they may become qualified.
