The parties have agreed that the improvements RMV should be reduced from $400,000 to $210,000, and that the AV should be reduced from $400,000 to $210,000.1
Prior to the court's receipt of the parties' stipulated agreement for the 2009-10 tax year, the court on December 1, 2010, issued an Order dismissing the 2008-09 tax year from Plaintiff's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the court finds that the RMV and AV of the subject property, for tax year 2009-10, should be reduced from $400,000 to $210,000. Now, therefore, *Page 2

1 Under ORS 308.146(2) (2009), AV is a lesser of RMV or maximum assessed value (MAV). Therefore, the AV is reduced because the reduction in the total RMV to $210,000 is below the property's $411,550 MAV determined by the board of property tax appeals. (Ptf's Compl at 3.)
