Certiorari to the Colorado Court of Appeals, 2010CA1320Docketed: September 15, 2011At Issue: December 10, 2012

ISSUE(S):

Whether the court of appeals erred in rejecting petitioner's Equal Protection challenge to the Colorado Division of Property Tax's discrimination against petitioner on property tax valuations, by relying on a novel theory of 'administrative convenience,' as a purported rational basis for such disparate treatment, even though the Colorado Division of Property Tax did not rely on, and neither party briefed, that justification, and this Court's precedents do not support 'administrative convenience' as a justification for the disparate treatment of similarly situated entities.

Whether the court of appeals erred in holding that the Colorado Division of Property Tax's disparate treatment of petitioneris a constitutional ownership-based classification arising from petitioner's status as a public utility, and in failing to enforce the Colorado Constitution's Uniform Taxation Clause.

Whether the court of appeals erred in interpreting C.R.S. sections 39-3-118 and 39-1-103(13)(a) as allowing Colorado Division of Property Tax to assess petitioner's property in a manner that disfavors petitioner, and favors petitioner's cable company competitors, a disparity that Colorado Division of Property Tax itself acknowledges.
