Indiana Supreme Court Rejects ‘Dark Box’ Case, Lets Tax Court Ruling Stand

Olivia Covington www.theindianalawyer.com

A divided Indiana Supreme Court has denied review to a tax case involving the use of vacant, or “dark,” retail store properties in determining tax assessments for similar-functioning retail properties, allowing the Indiana Tax Court’s ruling in the case to stand.

In an order Thursday afternoon, Justices Robert Rucker, Mark Massa and Geoffrey Slaughter voted to deny review to Howard County Assessor v. Kohl’s Indiana, LP, 49T10-1502-TA-00004. The justices heard oral arguments on the petition for review Thursday morning after the Indiana Tax Court issued an opinion in September allowing retail stores to base their assessed valuations on similar “dark box” retail properties.

During arguments before the Supreme Court, counsel for the Howard County assessor warned the justices that allowing such a practice to continue would redefine the term “market value-in-use” to mean something closer to “fair market value.” But Paul Jones, counsel for the Kokomo Kohl’s store at issue in the case, said the state’s tax manual allows an assessment to be made by looking at the utility received by the owner of the property in question or a “similar user.”

The divided court’s decision to let the Tax Court’s ruling stands also reinforces the Tax Court’s previous decisions in a string of similar cases, including Meijer Stores Ltd. P’ship v. Smith, 926 N.E.2d 1134, 1137 (Ind. Tax Ct. 2010); Stinson v. Trimas Fasteners, Inc., 923 N.E. 2d 496 (Ind. Tax Ct. 2010); and Millennium Real Estate Inv., LLC v. Assessor, Benton Cnty., 979 N.E.2d 192 (Ind. Tax Ct. 2012). Counsel for the Howard County assessor specifically told the court Thursday that Meijer had been wrongly decided.

Chief Justice Loretta Rush and Justice Steve David voted to grant the transfer petition.

A memorable season came to an end on Saturday as the University of Evansville women’s tennis team fell to Wichita State on Saturday in the Missouri Valley Team Championships on Saturday.

 

UE finished the season with 17 victories, but more impressively, the Purple Aces registered a 5-2 record in the MVC, tying for second place.  Diana Tkachenko earned the league’s Freshman of the Year award while Chieko Yamada earned a nod on the All-Select Team.

 

In Saturday’s matchup, the Shockers earned the doubles point to start the day.  Andjela Brguljan and Daria Pentsova put up a strong fight in third-flight doubles, dropping a 3-2 decision.

 

WSU took three singles wins (flight 3, 4 and 5) to clinch the match.  Yamada played well at #1 singles.  After dropping the first set, she fought Giulia Guidetti to a 2-2 tie in the second of an unfinished match.

Aces honor nine seniors at Cooper Stadium

0

The University of Evansville softball team fell in a pair of games to Illinois State on Saturday at Cooper Stadium.  Illinois State took game one by a final score of 18-0 before earning a 10-1 win in the second contest.

 

It was a special evening for the program as nine seniors played their final home games as members of the team.  The 2017 class consists of Mickaela Fleming, Courtney Land, Susan Norris, Michal Luckett, Hayli Scott, Chandra Parr, Ashlee Kawall, Morgan Lambert and Samantha Fleming.

 

In the opening matchup, ISU scored one in the first, five in the second and ten in the third frame on their way to the win.  Caitlyn Daly notched three home runs and seven RBI in the game.  Starting pitcher Sarah Finck held the Purple Aces to just one hit, coming off the bat of Tess Hupe.

 

Evansville got off to a better start in the second tilt.  Brittany Hay singled to center to open the game before Chandra Parr walked.  Next up was Morgan Florey, who singled through the left side to plate Hay.

 

From there, the Redbirds took control as four runs in both the third and fourth frames saw them take a 10-1 victory to finish off the doubleheader.  UE registered five hits with Hay accounting for a pair.  Hayli Scott, Ashlee Kawall and Florey recorded the others.

 

On Sunday, the series will be completed with an 11 a.m. game at Cooper Stadium in the final home contest of the year for the Aces.

Sunday Baseball Rained Out; Moving To Monday

0

The 22nd-ranked University of Southern Indiana-University of Indianapolis Senior Day doubleheader scheduled for noon Sunday has been postponed due to rain. The final home games of the 2017 USI schedule have been rescheduled for noon Monday with pregame ceremonies to honor the eight seniors at 11:30 a.m.

USI enters Monday’s doubleheader with a 27-16 overall record and a GLVC East Division leading 17-5 conference mark.

 

USI-Maryville softball doubleheader washed out

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball’s Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader against Maryville University Sunday has been cancelled due to rain.

 

The No. 5 Screaming Eagles finish the regular-season with a 40-10 overall record and a 19-7 mark in GLVC play.

 

USI, ranked No. 1 in the NCAA II Midwest Region poll, will await the results of Monday’s GLVC doubleheader between Rockhurst University and McKendree University to find out its position in next week’s GLVC Tournament. A Rockhurst loss gives USI the top seed in the GLVC Tournament, while a Rockhurst sweep makes the Eagles the No. 2 seed.

 

This marks the second straight rainout for USI, which was unable to play the University of Missouri-St. Louis Friday due to rain. The Eagles had not had a GLVC game cancelled due to weather since 2014 prior to this weekend.
