PETITION FOR APPEAL
AND NOW, PRINCETON TOWER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, by and

decision of the Cumberland County Board of Assessment Appeals dated October 25, 2006 and in
support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Appellant is Princeton Tower Development Corporation, with a mailing address
of 156 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, NJ 08558.
2. On or about September 1, 2006, Appellant filed with the Board of Assessment
Appeals, an appeal from the assessment of the property situate at 319 South Third Street,
Lemoyne, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17043, Tax Parcel No.: 12-22-0822-115A-LL041,
with an assessment for 2007 in the amount of $150,000.00, multiplied by a Common Level Ratio
Factor for Cumberland County in the amount of 1. 14, resulting in an assessed fair market value
of $171,000.00.
3. On October 25, 2006, the Board of Assessment Appeals made its final decision in
connection with the assessment appeal, fixing the final assessment for the above parcel, for 2007,
at $150,000.00.
4. Appellant believes and therefore avers that the real estate, which consists of a
communication tower, has an actual fair market value of $95,000.00.
5. Appellant believes and therefore avers that the Board of Assessment Appeals
abused its discretion and committed an error of law by fixing the 2007 assessed value of the
property at $150,000.00.
WHEREFORE, Appellant requests that your Honorable Court reverse the decision of the
Board of Assessment Appeals of Cumberland County, and fix the fair market value of the
property, and accordingly the assessed value for 2007, and all subsequent years, at $95,000.00.
Respectfully submitted,
