The Appellant is the owner of the property subject to this Appeal. 2. WRD Shippensburg LP had filed an Appeal with the Cumberland County Board of Assessment Appeals appealing the assessment originally fixed by the Board which was: Tax Parcel No. 36-33-1871-016: Total: $2,450,000.00 Tax Parcel No. 36-33-1871-016A: Total: $2,145,000.00 3. With the consent of the appellant property owner, the Board deleted Parcel 36-33-1871-016A and no appeal is taken from the decision of the Board with reference to that one tax parcel. This appeal is limited to the one remaining tax parcel that constitutes {316-13N-1/00077890-11 - 1 - ( � %kO37S '� ON as the Shippensburg Shopping Center, specifically Parcel 36-33-1871-016. 4.

This Appeal is filed by the Appellant as owner of the property to contest the assessment applied to the above tax parcel by the Board of Assessment Appeals. 6. This Appeal is filed for one or more of the following reasons: A. The assessment of Appellant's property is not uniform with other assessments in Cumberland County. B. The assessment is arbitrary, excessive and unreasonable. C. The assessment does not conform with the common level ratio that exists in Cumberland County so that Appellant's property is assessed at a higher rate than other real property owners. D. The assessment of Appellant's property does not accurately reflect its present fair market value. E. The assessment of Appellant's property is otherwise illegal, unconstitutional, non-uniform, arbitrary and unreasonable.
