The Assessor's determination of value after review is based on the following: AL01 - Your property has been uniformly valued following Colorado law. Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties which sold during the 2009/2010 time period. 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.

From: MYPAPAJIM@aol.com [mailto:MYPAPAJIM@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 11:43 AM To: Assessor Appeals Subject: PETITION TO COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION What is your estimate of the property's value as of June 30, 2010 (your opinion of value in terms of a specific dollar amount is required for real property pursuant to CRS 39-8.1-6(1.5) ) Notice the question, value as of 6-30-10. On that day the value was $190,000. What is the basis for your estimate of value or your reason for requesting a review. Based on a direct comparison of a house sold in June 2010 at a price of$169,900, which is the house next door to mine, (it is 408 14th Street). That home was a foreclosure and was on the open market by a local realtor, ads were run notifying the general public of the availability of the property for sale. A FOR SALE sign was placed in the front yard of 408 14th, to entice passer byes that the property was for sale. After a fair marketing time, the property sold and closed in June 2010. In as much as the property was listed, advertised and made available to ANYONE, there is no doubt that the$169,900 was/is the fair market price for that house. Looking at that house, it is identical to mine. But the builder changed some cosmetics and the house does not look exactly like mine. If you get past the cosmetic difference, the house is the same as mine. The assessor's review is based on the following "Your property has been uniformly valued following Colorado Law. Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties sold during the 2009-2010 time period.". (The statement given in this document asks the value as of 6-30--10., not considering sales two years prior) The assessor is charged with determining the approximate value as of 6-30-10. The law permits him to look at sales for a particular timeframe. BUT THE VALUE IS AS OF 6-30-10. Previous sales have to be put into the light of the current market of homes. Houses sold in 2009 were higher in value than in 2010, therefore it is not a thorough review unless the assessor's staff recognizes the economic conditions. The houses sold in 2010 (before June)were at a lesser value than in 2009. Foreclosures are forcing the values of homes DOWN,just as in my case... right next door. Utilizing stale and inappropriate values is not complying with the law or it's intention. Under normal economic conditions, utilizing a two year timeframe is being fair with the Homeowner, that is why it is written that way. But, the value is that of June 30,2010 not some combination of dates and sales. Since the property at 408 14th sold and closed before June 30, 2010 there is no better way to evaluate my property. The assessor erred when he looked at values two years old. He did not comply with the intent or letter of the law concerning evaluations. To determine the value as of 6-30-10 he had to look no further than 408 14th street Windsor Colorado. My value is based on that sale and adjusted upward to allow for my basement and any SLIGHT difference in square footage. 408 has a big back yard deck attached to the house, which adds value there. My estimated value of$190.000 is the FAIR MARKRT VALUE. (determined by an actual sale next door to me) It's bad enough that the citizens are having a tough time financially, but to utilize vales of 2009-2010 for the value today is just plain WRONG I/we the owner's of the property identified above, affirm that the statements contained herein and on any attachments hereto are true and complete.
