OPINION

BRADY, J.

Procedural History

This is an appeal from the New Castle County Board of Assessment Review (the “Board”). The issue is whether the County can preclude a tax exemption for certain properties owned by the University of Delaware (the “University”) for the fiscal tax year running from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. The Board determined that the County could preclude the tax exemption because the University did not file for the exemption in accordance with a deadline in New Castle County Code § 14.06.1103. For the reasons set forth herein, the decision of the Board is reversed.
