Subject: Appraisal Request
The subject of this appraisal assignment is the Eversource Utility properties in the City that are
currently under appeal at Superior Court.
These appeals go back to the April 1, 2011 tax year, but should the taxpayer prevail, current
statutes allow the abatement to stand for any successive years, absent a good faith adjustment.
For this reason, the total exposure in taxes is estimated at approximately $550,000.
Per Legal, this falls under Chapter 5 of the city ordinance, paragraph 5-83 Professional Services.
T have included the fixed fee proposal from George SanSoucy, the preferred appraiser for this
project due to his experience & expertise at not only the appraisal work, but his ability to testify
in Superior Court.
The Assessing Department requests approval to purchase appraisals in an amount not-to-exceed
$50,000 with George (Skip) Sansoucy, Portsmouth, NH.
Respectfully,
Jon Duhamel, CNHA
Chief Assessor
