Assessment appeal of Read Street self-storage facility

Summary

The owner of a Read Street self-storage facility and a Quarry Road condo appealed big jumps in assessed value — but the appeals were thrown out because the owner never directly answered the assessor's statutory information requests. It's a procedural dismissal, not a ruling on value, and the owner could still take the fight to court.
