The local assessing officer must issue a final written determination within a reasonable time of the taxpayer's timely filing of an Application for Review. A taxpayer whose application for correction has been pending for more than one year without the issuance of a final determination may, upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the assessor, elect to treat the application as denied and appeal the assessment to the Tax Commissioner. The Tax Commissioner shall not consider an appeal filed in this manner if he finds that the absence of final determination on the part of the assessor was caused by the willful failure or refusal of the taxpayer to provide information requested and reasonably needed by the assessor to make his determination.
