taxes. In the case of a real property tax appeal, no taxpayer or county
shall be deemed aggrieved by an assessment, nor shall an assessment be lowered

(1) Assessment of the property exceeds by more than
twenty per cent the ratio of assessment to market value used by the director of
taxation as the real property tax base;
(2) Lack of uniformity or inequality, brought about
by illegality of the methods used or error in the application of the methods to
the property involved;
(3) Denial of an exemption to which the taxpayer is
entitled and for which the taxpayer has qualified; or
(4) Illegality, on any ground arising under the
Constitution or laws of the United States or the laws of the State (in addition
