3) An exemption for which the taxpayer qualifies and applied for is denied, or
4) In addition to the illegality of methods used, there exists illegality under the provisions of the Constitution, laws of the United States, laws of the state, or ordinances of the city.
Values claimed by the taxpayer are admissible as evidence in subsequent condemnation action.
