evidence. Assessment Appeals Boards may not base any factual determinations necessary for their decisions on

anything other than the aforementioned evidence. Information presented through public comment, unless property

admitted into evidence in compliance with the Revenue and Taxation code and the Property Tax Rules of the State

Board of Equalization, is not evidence upon which Assessment Appeals Boards may base findings.

Each item on the Agenda may include the following documents: (1) An Application for Changed Assessment (2)

Comparable Sale Information (3) Department or Agency Correspondence (4) Public Correspondence.
