CERTIFICATE OF LITIGATION STATUS

INSTRUCTIONS: Applicants should know the status of their litigation challenging assessments of their property and must notify the Tax

Commission when the Tax Commission’s record of litigation status is incorrect. Review the Tax Commission list of open proceedings on

our website. Check the categories below that apply, list the assessment years involved and provide the information or documents

requested. For parcels whose litigation status this year is certified as correct and complete on Form TC135 (Notice of Appearance), do

not submit this form. Do not submit this form if there are no open proceedings pending for any prior years. Otherwise, this form must be

submitted for an applicant to receive a personal hearing at the Tax Commission. Submit the form to the person conducting your hearing.

If your application requests review without a personal hearing, file TC140 with your application. No copies are required. An error on this

form or non-filing can result in an error in the proceedings to be discontinued in a Tax Commission offer of correction (Form TC70). A

request for re-offer will not be entertained for the purpose of correcting the result of an error in or non-filing of this form.
