8/13/2013: NOTE: When you go before the Board of Assessment Review (BAR), Kim Hulburd is one of the BAR members that votes on your assessment reduction.
A property’s assessment is based on its market value. Market value is how much a property would sell for under normal conditions.

Using records available on the Erie County Clerk’s web site, a case can be made that Hulburd’s assessment is less than market value.
A older image from Google Earth shows Hulburd’s property when owned by Wells Fargo. Property is in need of repair. Erie County records show the transaction consideration was $76,545.23.
Hulburd purchased the house for $39,100.
Hulburd made considerable improvements to her property.
How can this property be assessed at $35,000? (Click Here To Visit Erie County Real Property)
In 2008, Gar Associates assessed property (before improvements) at $77,000. Ebersole then reduced assessment to $35,000.
