Tax Appeal No . 95-0820
Dear Mr. Lynch;
As you are aware, the Tax Appeals Board reached the conclusion that
there was in fact no transfer of the above property in 1993 . We
understand that the assessor has only reduced the 95/96 taxes .
This is incorrect !
We hereby request a correction to the roll and a refund on the
overpayment of taxes on the 1993-94 and the 1994-95 taxes .
Since there was no sale in 1993 , the supplemental tax for 93/94,
and the increase for 94-95 and 95-96, based upon a sale, is illegal
and erroneous .
Since the Board did not determine a new base value, Section 80 does
not apply.
We have been advised by our attorney that we do have further
recourse, that is a request of a refund from the Board of
Supervisors, under Section 5096 . Further to the Superior Court
under Section 1605 (a) (3 ) .
Since the question is a legal one, you may wish to consult with the
County Counsel .
We are anxious to pay our delinquent taxes, so please do what you
can to expedite this decision.
Very Truly Yours, W. Dennis Barry
