Emerson Network Power Energy Systems, North America, Inc. v. Lorain County Board of Revision
Annotate this CaseAt issue in this real property valuation case was the proper valuation for tax year 2012 of an unused office warehouse property. The county auditor assigned a value of $1,388,700 to the property. The property owner (Appellant) sought a sale price valuation of $50,000 and an appraisal valuation of either $450,000 or $588,000. The board of revision (BOR) rejected the sale price on the grounds had not been consummated. The transfer allegedly occurred after the hearing held by the Board of Tax Appeals (BTA). The BTA rejected the sale price because the evidence of transfer was presented after the close of its hearing. The BTA then valued the property at $588,000. The Supreme Court vacated the BTA’s decision, holding that the BTA erred by (1) declining to consider Appellant’s post hearing evidence of the consummation of the sale for a price of $50,000; and (2) concluding that the BTA’s initial decision was based on a clerical error that could be corrected without weighing the conflicting evidence of the value of the property. Remanded for further proceedings.
