Legislator headnote
AI generatedWet WOZ; Wet OZB: The tax authority must substantiate its property valuation with a professional report; a taxpayer's self-completed questionnaire does not shift the burden of proof to the lawyer, and failure to rebut specific objections to an independent valuation results in the official assessment standing.
