D. P. Hoblit and Marilyn Hoblit v. Greater

Appellants seek a reversal of the superior courts affirmance of the Greater Anchorage Area Boroughs 1966 tax assessment against their property located at Fifth Avenue and D Street in Anchorage, Alaska. In this appeal, appellants raise three issues: whether the Hoblit Building, the property in question, should have been accorded a 20 percent earthquake decrement; whether the appraisal of the Hoblit Building was too high relative to certain other purportedly comparable buildings located in Anchorage or to its historical cost, reproduction cost, and depreciation; and whether the superior court erred in awarding appellee attorneys fees against appellants.
