Statement of Facts

Pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Annotated59-2-704(2), 1953, the Utah State Tax Commission issued a factoring order to XXXXX on the fourth Tuesday of XXXXX. The order, based upon the XXXXX Assessment/Sales Ratio Study, set forth a ratio of XXXXX and a factor of XXXXX on the Vacant Land class of property.

On XXXXX, XXXXX filed an appeal of the XXXXX factor order with the Utah State Tax Commission.

On XXXXX, XXXXX met with the Property Tax Division to review questions of error and/or omission in the data and issues regarding statistical methodology and application of the factor order.

An analysis of the vacant land sales used to compute the assessment level revealed some specific areas of the county which are undervalued. By reviewing and updating the land values in the defined areas noted improvement can be made in the assessment level on the vacant land category.

Based upon the facts presented, the Property Tax Division and XXXXX stipulate:

1. XXXXX will reappraise all vacant land parcels in the XXXXX for the XXXXX tax roll.

2. XXXXX will review and update the values of recreational subdivisions in the XXXXX area for the XXXXX tax roll.

3. The county land guide will be updated and presented to the Property Tax Division for review by XXXXX.

4. XXXXX will reappraise all vacant land parcels, a portion of which will be completed by XXXXX with the remainder being completed by XXXXX.

5. It is agreed that all reappraisal work and plans will follow the State Tax Commission Reappraisal Guidelines.

6. The parties agree that this stipulation may be modified based on results of future assessment/sales ratio studies conducted by the Property Tax Division, or that factor orders may be reinstituted if significant improvement in assessment level performance is not attained.

7. Based upon the parties' agreement in paragraphs (1) through (5) above, the parties jointly recommend that Appeal No. 90-2711 be dismissed by order of the Tax Commission incorporating the adjustments set forth.

Dated the XXXXX day of XXXXX.
