Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to establish the true cash 

value, assessed value and taxable value of its property. 

Petitioner fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to support its allegation that 

the assessed value of its property, as equalized, is at a factor other than 50% and 

also fails to allege specific and sufficient facts to support is allegations that that 

the property’s taxable value is improper. 

Petitioner fails to show that any rate other than 50% after equalization was 

applied to the true cash value of its property, as well as to the properties of all 

others to arrive at the respective equalized assessments. 

Petitioner, in essence, asks that this Honorable Tribunal grant it an illegal 

preference by application of a method of assessment different from that employed 

in the assessment of other properties in the Respondents taxing unit. 

Petitioner, in essence, seeks by Petition to challenge the process of county and 

state equalization as to the which it has no legal standing and cannot maintain a 

cause of action. 

Any decrease in the value of Petitioner’s property was a result of its own 

intentional acts and/or negligence and cannot be allowed to reduce Petitioner’s 

otherwise equitable tax burden. 

Respondent has properly and lawfully assessed Petitioner’s property and 

established its taxable value in accordance with statutory and constitutional 

requirements.

Respondent reserves the right to add to these Affirmative Defenses any new

wrongfully incurred in having to defend this matter.
