A. In any case where the county assessor or county board of equalization disallows or rejects an application for homestead exemption or changes the amount of said exemption from that claimed by the applicant, said applicant may obtain a hearing before the county board of equalization by filing a written complaint with the secretary of said board within ten (10) days from receipt of the notice from the county assessor or county board of equalization, showing such rejection or change in amount, and said complaint shall specify his grievances, and the pertinent facts in relation thereto, in ordinary and concise language and without repetition, and in such manner as to enable a person of common understanding to know what is intended; and the county board of equalization shall be authorized and empowered to take evidence pertinent to said complaint; and for that purpose, is authorized to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, records and papers, by subpoena.
B. The taxpayer shall have the right to appeal from the finding of the board with reference to his application for homestead exemption, as is or may be provided by law for appeals from the county board of equalization on questions of valuation of property, and the appeal shall be taken in the same manner and subject to the same requirements.
