9252-R, 9358-R CenterPoint Energy Res. Corp. v. Comm’r of Revenue
Property Taxation
Valuation
In this challenge to the estimated market value of petitioner’s property for the 2020 and 2021 assessment dates, petitioner moved to consolidate, for summary judgment, and for punitive damages. The Tax Court determined that fact issues precluded summary judgment, noting that the existence of disagreements over the relevance or weight of individual comparable sales was not only material, as it affected the ultimate determination of value, but it was the essence of property tax litigation. Motion to consolidate granted, motions for summary judgment and punitive damages denied.
