0010|     accordance with Section 7-38-20 NMSA 1978; or

    |
0013|                    (2)  state the property owner's name and
    |

    |
0015|                    (3)  state why the property owner believes the
    |
0016|     value, classification, [the] allocation of value or denial of
    |
0017|     a claim of an exemption is incorrect and what he believes the
    |

    |
0019|     to be; and
    |
0020|                    (4)  state the value, classification,
    |

    |
0023|     assessor shall schedule a hearing before the county valuation
    |

    |
0001|     petition.  The notice shall be mailed at least fifteen days
    |
