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.
