ASSESSOR'S VALUATION PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION ACTUAL VALUE PRIOR TO ACTUAL VALUE AFTER REVIEW REVIEW PERS PROP 224,566 224,566 TOTAL $224,566 $224,566 The Assessor has carefully studied all available information, giving particular attention to the specifics included on your protest. The Assessor's determination of value after review is based on the following: PP01 - Your personal property has been valued in accordance with Colorado law Other personal property, similar in nature, has been consistently valued using the same statutory methods. 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.
