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 by 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 Primary Residential class of property.

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

On December 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.

After a analysis of the XXXXX sales ratio study XXXXX has determined that a reappraisal program is the best approach to solve the equity and assessment level problems as they presently exist. It is XXXXX's plan to implement a three year reappraisal program. This program covers all classes of property. The county has been broken down into five general value areas. The county has identified the XXXXX area as the area of greatest concern.

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

1. XXXXX will submit to the Property Tax Division a reappraisal plan covering all activities and a general time schedule. This plan shall be submitted to the Property Tax Division for their approval by XXXXX.

2. XXXXX will reappraise the XXXXX area for the XXXXX tax roll.

3. XXXXX will reappraise the XXXXX and XXXXX areas for the XXXXX tax roll.

4. XXXXX will reappraise the XXXXX, XXXXX, and the XXXXX areas for the XXXXX tax roll.

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 (6) above, the parties jointly recommend that Appeal No. 90-2715 be dismissed by order of the Tax Commission incorporating the adjustments set forth.

Dated the XXXXX day of XXXXX.
