Additionally, there has been a severe decline in sales of such lots statewide and in Weld County, Colorado, which initiated during the 4°i quarter of 2007 and into 2008 and should be taken into consideration by the Board of Equalization during this severe economic recession. Increases in valuation during this time period on agriculture lots are unsubstantiated and inappropriate. Our Client requests the reinstatement of the 2008 assessed value.

BOX 758 GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 Parcel No.: VARIOUS (SEE LIST) The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of July 31, 2009, at or about the hour of 3:15 PM, to hold a hearing on your valuation for assessment. This hearing will be held at the Weld County Centennial Center, First Floor Hearing Room, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado. You have a right to attend this hearing and present evidence in support of your petition. The Weld County Assessor or his designee will be present. The Board will make its decision on the basis of the record made at the aforementioned hearing, as well as your petition, so it would be in your interest to have a representative present. If you plan to be represented by an agent or an attorney at your hearing, prior to the hearing you shall provide, in writing to the Clerk to the Board's Office, an authorization for the agent or attorney to represent you. If you do not choose to attend this hearing, a decision will still be made by the Board by the close of business on August 5, 2009, and mailed to you on or before August 12, 2009. Because of the volume of cases before the Board of Equalization, all cases shall be limited to 15 minutes. Also due to volume, cases cannot be rescheduled. It is imperative that you provide evidence to support your position. This may include evidence that similar homes in your area are valued less than yours or you are being assessed on improvements you do not have. Please note: The fact that your valuation has increased cannot be your sole basis of appeal. Without documented evidence as indicated above, the Board will have no choice but to deny your appeal. If you wish to obtain the data supporting the Assessor's valuation of your property, please submit a written request directly to the Assessor's Office by fax (970) 304-6433, or if you have questions, call (970) 353-3845. Upon receipt of your written request, the Assessor will notify you of the estimated cost of providing such information. Payment must be made prior to the Assessor providing such information, at which time the Assessor will make the data available within three (3) working days, subject to any confidentiality requirements.
