Subd. 2.Appeal by municipality.

Any municipality which has appeared in the proceedings, and which is aggrieved by the order of the commissioner reducing the net tax capacity of any of the property, or failing to increase the net tax capacity, may have the order of the commissioner reviewed by appeal to the court of appeals, on either of the following grounds:

(1) that the determination of the commissioner was not in accordance with the property tax laws, or that the commissioner committed any other error of law; or

(2) that the findings of fact and determination of net tax capacity were unwarranted by or were contrary to the weight of the evidence.

Subd. 3.Appeal by property owner.

Any owner of property who has appeared in the proceedings and who is aggrieved by the order of the commissioner raising the net tax capacity of the property, or failing to reduce the net tax capacity, may have the order of the commissioner reviewed on appeal to the court of appeals in like manner and upon the same grounds as provided for review on the appeal of any municipality.
