12D-10.003Powers, Authority, Duties and Functions of Value Adjustment Board.
(1) The board has no power to fix the original valuation of property for ad valorem tax purposes or to grant an exemption not
authorized by law and the board is bound by the same standards as the county property appraiser in determining values and the
granting of exemptions. The board has no power to grant relief either by adjustment of the value of a property or by the granting of
an exemption on the basis of hardship of a particular taxpayer. The board, in determining the valuation of a specific property, shall
not consider the ultimate amount of tax required.
(2) The powers, authority, duties and functions of the board, insofar as they are appropriate, apply equally to real property and
tangible personal property (including taxable household goods).
(3) Every decision of the board must contain specific and detailed findings of fact which shall include both ultimate findings of
fact and basic and underlying findings of fact. Each basic and underlying finding must be properly annotated to its supporting
evidence. For purposes of these rules, the following are defined to mean:
(a) An ultimate finding is a determination of fact. An ultimate finding is usually expressed in the language of a statutory
standard and must be supported by and flow rationally from adequate basic and underlying findings.
(b) Basic and underlying findings are those findings on which the ultimate findings rest and which are supported by evidence.
Basic and underlying findings are more detailed than the ultimate findings but less detailed than a summary of the evidence.
(c) Reasons are those clearly stated grounds upon which the board or property appraiser acted.
