See State Board Decisions.
Below are some unpublished decisions by the State Board which we feel may be of significant interest to taxpayers.

Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc.
Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. - Sept. 14, 2004 - Rutherford County, Assessment Appeals Commission. Bridgestone argued that their real estate was not special purpose property even though it was used for manufacturing tires and, therefore, the property should be under a value in-exchange premise. The Commission agreed and adopted the taxpayer basis for value.

Vincil C. Bishop, Jr.
Vincil C. Bishop, Jr. - Nov. 16, 2004 - Shelby County, Assessment Appeals Commission. The taxpayer averaged comparable sales as evidence of the value of his residence. The Assessor made adjustments to sales to reflect differences in the properties. The Commission found that averaged comparable sales do not indicate value.

American Water Heater Co.
American Water Heater Co. - Nov. 18, 2004 - Washington County, Assessment Appeals Commission. Taxpayer sought a reduction in the value of tangible personal property based upon the allocation of value from the total purchase price to the personal property value. The Commission held that an allocation is not an indication of market value and the property must be valued in accordance with the State's standard depreciation tables.
