The Division's determination is presumed correct, unless competent evidence is presented to the contrary. If competent evidence is produced by the protesting party, the reasonableness of the Division's action in determining adjusted valuation becomes one of fact based upon all of the evidence presented.004.04 In rebutting the presumption that the Division's determination of the adjusted valuation is correct, the protesting party must show by clear and convincing evidence that the Division's 's determination was the result of a systematic exercise of intentional will or failure of plain duty, and not mere errors of judgment or a difference of opinion.004.05 Based upon the evidence introduced at the hearing, the Tax Commissioner must enter a written order upholding or changing the adjusted valuations.

The Property Tax Administrator will provide the prescribed forms for the county assessor to report the recertified taxable valuation. The county assessor must file this report within 10 days of the Tax Commissioner's notification. 004.09A The county assessor will determine the recertified valuation by taking the original school district valuation as certified on the tax list for the prior tax year, and adding or subtracting the tax list corrections that have changed the original certified taxable value.004.10 On or before the following July 31, the Tax Commissioner must approve or deny the request and if approved, certify the corrected adjusted valuations resulting from the action to the Department of Education.350 Neb.
