STATEMENT OF CASE

The above-captioned matter involves an appeal to the Utah State Tax Commission from the assessment by the Property Tax Division of the Utah State Tax Commission on the subject property. Petitioner asserted that the subject property should have a lower taxable value as of the lien date, January 1, XXXXX.

At an Informal Hearing held on XXXXX, Petitioner presented hand written work sheets for rolling stock values. Following the hearing, Petitioner submitted appraisals which substantiated these values. Petitioner and Respondent then agreed that all of the vehicles should be assessed for XXXXX using the percentages that were used for XXXXX. The assessment is consequently reduced from $$$$$ to $$$$$. The original XXXXX tax liability amounted to $$$$$. The revised XXXXX tax liability amounts to $$$$$, a decrease in taxes of $$$$$. A summary of the proposed XXXXX assessment of rolling stock, based on percentages used for the XXXXX assessment, is as follows:

All 29 counties had standing to object to the assessment of the subject property pursuant to Utah Code Ann. § 59-7-12 (1953) (new Section 59-2-1013) but elected not to show cause.
