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. 15 -OPT -AR PR 207-08/08 NOD #: 4469 APPEAL PROCEDURES County Board of Equalization Hearings will be held from July 1 through August 5 at 915 10th Street, Greeley, CO To appeal the Assessor's decision, complete the Petition to the County Board of Equalization shown below, and mail or deliver a copy of both sides of this form to: WELD COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION 915 10TH Street, P.O.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Notice of Determination appeal Schedule Number: R1540586 Property address: 520 2nd St., 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 June 30, 2008. The web site is consistent with that date. Any discrepancy in 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 not significant, but should be considered in the valuation process. 3. It is surprising the Assessor's valuation would indicate a rise in value of this property from $158,870 on June 30, 2006 to $164,626 on June 30, 2008. It would 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. (These are different than those presented in our initial appeal, as the Assessor's Office correctly pointed out some of our comparable sales were intra-family.) Address above ground/ date sold price $/sq ft (Windsor) basement sq ft Comparable #1 509 3rd St. 1176 / 0 1-19-07 $150,000 $127 Comparable #2 417 6th St. 1585 / 360 3-12-07 $161,000 $ 92 Comparable #3 310 7th St. 832 / 312 9-10-07 $120,000 $121 (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 $113.33 per square foot. The subject property is 1400 sq ft above ground and no basement. Applying this to the subject property, this results in a value of $158,662. Based on this information, we feel the value of our property should be either the same as the Special Valuation, $83,504, or at most $158,662 as indicated above. (Please note this is approximately the same as the 2006 valuation, higher than would be indicated by the housing market in 2008.) Thank you for your consideration.
