Lot 1, Block 1, Northwest Commercial Park
said property being described for assessment purposes as located in Property Identification No.:

IV.
That the foregoing valuation of said real estate is excessive and greater than its real or actual
value, and discriminates against the real estate in favor of comparable properties. To the extent that the
total market value assigned to said real estate exceeds actual market value or discriminates against said
real estate, said real estate has been partially, unfairly, unequally valued for the said year in violation of
M.S.A. ~ 273.11 and in violation of Article X, section I, of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota;
and that the tax levied against the same is illegal in whole or in part, within the meaning and
contemplation of M.S.A. ~ 278.01, et. seq. To the extent that the tax levied against said real estate is
based on a total market value which exceeds actual market value or discriminates against said real estate,
the real estate will be taken without due process of law, in violation of Article I, section 7 of said
Constitution.
V.
That the limitations on relief set forth in M.S.A. ~ 278.05 subd. 4(d) unconstitutionally violate the
prohibitions against (i) denial of due process, (ii) denial of equal protection of the laws, (iii) lack of
uniformity in taxation, (iv) denial of redress of injuries or wrongs, and (v) exercise by the legislature of
powers properly belonging to the judiciary, contained in the state and federal constitutions.
VI.
That for purposes of real estate taxation, the real estate is improperly classified.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner prays that the Court determine and adjudicate the validity of its
claim and objections as above set forth; that it determine the fair and proper valuation of said real
property for tax purposes as of January 2, 2007; that it award costs, disbursements and interest to
Petitioner; that it declare the limitation of relief contained in M.S.A. ~ 278.05 subd.4(d)
unconstitutional; that it classify the property in accordance with the law; and that it award such other
relief as the court deems just and equitable.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that costs, disbursements, and reasonable attorney and
witness fees may be awarded to the party against whom the allegations in this pleading are asserted
pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~549.21, subd. 2.

Ref: Increased Property Tax
City of Albertville:
As the Owner of Albertville Pit Stop I strongly disagree with the increases in taxes that
you have applied to our property the last two years. Weare requesting some type of
proof that our land values have gone up. We would like to see some comps or proof to
sales in the City of Albertville, to justify the increase evaluation of our property. We
need to see the income evaluation ratio and or property evaluation to justify the two years
of increase because we all know that businesses are laying people off, some are closing
their doors, people are losing their homes and cars and in our case our sales have dropped
50% in the last two years. This economic crisis is happening thru out the nation and we
all know that Wright County and the City of Albertville is included in the nations
problem. We need to know why a county can charge 11.3% increase when the nation is
dropping in percentage in every aspect of life. We will meet with someone from the
County or City but we need to see the facts of how we can be charged an increase of
11.3%. If you are going to contact us by letter please send the letter to:

In case another office is in charge of making this decision, please forward this letter to this office
and notify me in writing regarding name, address and other contact of this official.
Sincerely,
