The Assessor's determination of value after review is based on the following: AL02 - The actual valuation of your property has been adjusted based on new information. This may be information you have supplied, corrections of characteristics or additional sales which we have uncovered during the appeals process. If you disagree with the Assessor's decision, you have the right to appeal to the County Board of Equalization for further consideration, § 39-8-106(1)(a), C.R.S. The deadline for filing real property appeals is July 15. The deadline for filing personal property appeals is July 20. The Assessor establishes property values. The local taxing authorities (county, school district, city, fire protection, and other special districts) set mill levies. The mill levy requested by each taxing authority is based on a projected budget and the property tax revenue required to adequately fund the services it provides to its taxpayers. The local taxing authorities hold budget hearings in the fall. If you are concerned about mill levies, we recommend that you attend these budget hearings. Please refer to last year's tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of the local taxing authorities. Please refer to the reverse side of this notice for additional information.

Documentation for Appeal to County Board of Equalization Hearings Schedule Number R1781102 Address: 2269 Dogwood Circle, Erie,CO 80516 Owners:Jerald A. & Diane I. Weskalnies Phone: 303-666-4714 Email:jdweskal@msn.com The current adjusted valuation of our property is$268,691, which is an increase of$41,159 or 18%over the 2009 valuation of$227,532. When we bought this house in 5/08, it was appraised for$238,000.As we indicate in the points below,we see no justification for the increase in our valuation.We have not added to the value of the house. 1. The Weld County Assessor's letter states that the assessment is based on market conditions in the neighborhood. Housing prices of ranch-style houses in our neighborhood increased only.05%between the 1/1/07-6/30/08 and the 1/1/09-6/30/10 valuation periods.There is no justification to an increase in 18% over the previous valuation of our property. 2. The only sale between 1/01/09 and 6/30/10 that is comparable to ours in size and floor plan is at 2293 Dogwood Dr., Erie. It sold on 4/10 for$230,000. 3. During the current valuation period, six ranch houses within 50 sq.ft. of our house size (excluding those with finished basements) sold in our neighborhood for an average sale price of$260,150 and a median sale price of$246,500. Both of these values are below our current valuation. Date Sold Property Address Selling Price Notes 4/10 2293 Dogwood Dr. $230,000 Same floor plan as ours 2/10 2282 Dogwood Dr. $289,900 Similar floor plan plus full basement&3rd bedroom; backs up to golf course 4/10 2631 Lilac Cr. $289,000 Different floor plan plus 3rd bedroom & 3'd car garage;backs up to golf course 1/10 2227 Alpine Dr. $203,000 Different floor plan plus 3'd bedroom &full basement 6/10 2304 Dogwood Dr. $261,000 Different floor plan plus 3`d bedroom,full basement, & 3'd car garage 11/09 2589 Lilac Cr. $288,000 Different floor plan plus 3rd bedroom,full basement& 3'd car garage 4. The house at 2537 Wisteria Dr. sold originally in 4/04 for$253,800 and is valued at$258,799. It has our basic floor plan, plus a 3'd bedroom, 3rd garage,and larger lot size. Our house originally sold in 5/04 for$256,800. It makes no sense that our current valuation should be almost$10,000 more than this other house. 5. There are 4 other ranch-style houses in our neighborhood that have the same basic floor plan as ours but some have 3 bedrooms instead of 2 and some have a third garage. Excluding those with full or finished basements,the average current valuation of these houses is$266,871, which is still lower than our valuation. In conclusion,the market values of the properties in our neighborhood have remained essentially the same between the current and previous valuation periods. Yet the value of our house went up 18%without any change in the property during this time.Therefore,we request that you lower the valuation of our property to its prior valuation of$227,532.
