Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

The special assessment district was correctly and legally established and the assigned 

amount is not substantially or unreasonably disproportionate to the value that accrues to 

the land as a result of the improvements. 

Moreover, as there was no protest by Petitioner or its representative at the hearing held 

to confirm the special assessment roll, the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. 

Petitioner's appeal must, therefore, be dismissed.
