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:
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 2007/2008 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.

RE: Notice of Determination appeal
Schedule Number: R0188594
Property address: 735 Lilac, Windsor, CO
Owner names: Harold and Ruth Schmidt
Dear Board of Equalization:
We would like to provide this letter, and attached information, in support of our appeal of the
Weld County Assessor's Office valuation of the above property.
1. The Assessor's website states the value is an estimate "of the value of the property as of June
30, 2008." When we were called about our initial appeal, we were told the Assessor's office is
now using the value as of January 1, 2009. We are only allowed to use sales date up to Jine 30,
2008. The web site is consistent with that date. Any discrepancy should be resolved in favor of
the taxpayer. Accordingly, we ask that the date of valuation be June 30, 2008.
2. This property was one of many which sustained damage from the horrible tornado we
experienced last year. The damage to this particular property was significant, and the property
not habitable until after January 1, 2009. This needs to be considered in the valuation process.
3. It is astounding the Assessor's valuation would indicate a rise in value of this property from
$83,504 (Special Valuation 2008) to $171,106 on June 30, 2008 when the property had not yet
been repaired. It would also seem to be common knowledge that property values have declined
significantly during most of this period, due to decreasing prices, foreclosures, lack of available
loans, and lack of buyers during this period. News articles indicate Weld County to have one of
the highest foreclosure rates in the country.
4. The Assessor's Office has provided no evidence in support of their valuation. It is unfair to
ask us to respond to a valuation that has not been documented prior to a legal hearing.
5. Finally, we would also provide the following property sales data in support our request for a
lower valuation of this property.
Address above ground/ date sold price $/sq ft
(Windsor) basement sq ft
Comparable #1 773 Columbine 1216 / 1000 6-27-08 $ 77,500 $45
Comparable #2 18 Rose 1056 / 682 3-7-08 $ 95,000 $63
Comparable #3 981 Nantucket 1715 / 0 5-14-07 $135,000 $78
Comparable #4 45 Chestnut 1910 / 0 4-30-08 $159,000 $ 83
(For properties with basements, we have added 50% of the basement square footage to the above
ground square footage to get an average square foot price, as basement areas have less value than
liveable areas and cost less to build).
The average square foot cost for these properties is $67.25 per square foot. The subject property
has a 1008 sq ft main floor and a 1008 sq ft basement. Applying this to the subject property, this
results in a value of $101,682. (1008 + 50% of 1008 = 1512 x $67.25 per sq ft = $101,682.)
Based on this information, we feel 2 values are supported by the evidence, either the value the
Assessor's Office placed on the property for 2008, $83,504, or the market value above, $101,682.
These are relatively close, indicating they are valid figures, as opposed to the $171,106 proposed
by the Assessor's Office.
Sincerely,
C
