established by Respondent’s Board of Review. 

 

10. Respondent’s Board of Review established the 

following values for Subject Property for the 2026 tax 

year: 

 

a. True Cash Value: 

 $ 68,216,200 

b. Assessed and Taxable Values: 

 $ 34,108,100

Property. 

 

 

WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Tribunal issue an order reducing the 

values of the Subject Property consistent with Petitioner’s contentions of value in this 

Petition or to such other figure as is consistent with the valuation presented by the 

Petitioner at hearing in his matter. 

 

Submitted Respectfully,
