Tax case ruling blanks out county and ferrets losses
Judge Bailie issued a lengthy decision in favor of the plaintiff in the Palo Alto county tax case ML Brows guardian of War Witterington v J B Lambe treasurer et al. The ruling critiques retroactivity and notice requirements for omitted property assessments under Chapter 50 and related statutes. The court holds Section 1371 and related provisions insufficient to guarantee taxpayer hearing before assessment increases, sustaining the defendant’s position in part and upholding remedies under multiple chapters.
