By New Mexico Court of Appeals

  • Release Date: 1979-10-30
  • Genre: Law

Description

Following a protest hearing requested by the taxpayer, the Bernalillo County Valuation Protests Board (Board) upheld the county assessor's valuation of 156 acres owned by and operated as the Four Hills Country Club (Four Hills), and the tax assessed against it. Four Hills appeals, contending arbitrary, capricious, and erroneous valuation because the comparable sales data accepted by the Board lacked proper foundation and because the Board ignored the 10% limitation on annual tax increases mandated by ยง 7-36-17, N.M.S.A. 1978. We reverse.
