A denial of a petition, in whole or in part, by the Board of Equalization may be appealed by
selecting one of the following three options; however, said appeal must be filed within 30 days of
the denial:
1. Board of Assessment Appeals: You have the right to appeal the County Board
of Equalization's (CBOE's) decision to the Board of Assessment Appeals (BAA).
Such hearing is the final hearing at which testimony, exhibits, or any other
evidence may be introduced. If the decision of the BAA is further appealed to
the Court of Appeals only the record created at the BAA hearing shall be the
basis for the Court's decision. No new evidence can be introduced at the Court
of Appeals. (Section 39-8-108(10), C.R.S.)
Appeals to the BAA must be made on forms furnished by the BAA, and such
appeals should be mailed or delivered within thirty (30) days of denial by the
CBOE to:
Board of Assessment Appeals

the Board of Assessment Appeals; however, a taxpayer being represented by an
agent or an attorney must submit a fee of $101.25 per appeal.
OR
2. District Court: You have the right to appeal the CBOE's decision to the District
Court of the county wherein your property is located. New testimony, exhibits or
any other evidence may be introduced at the District Court hearing. For filing

Further appeal of the District Court's decision is made to the Court of Appeals for
a review of the record. (Section 39-8-108(1), C.R.S.)
OR
3. Binding Arbitration: You have the right to submit your case to arbitration. If
you choose this option the arbitrator's decision is final and your right to appeal
your current valuation ends. (Section 39-8-108.5, C.R.S.)
Selecting the Arbitrator: In order to pursue arbitration, you must notify the
OBOE of your intent. You and the OBOE select an arbitrator from the official list
of qualified people. If you cannot agree on an arbitrator, the District Court of the
county in which the property is located will make the selection.

from the date the arbitrator is selected. Both you and the OBOE are entitled to
participate. The hearings are informal. The arbitrator has the authority to issue

determined by him.
The arbitration hearing may be confidential and closed to the public, upon mutual
agreement. The arbitrator's written decision must be delivered to both parties
personally or by registered mail within ten (10) days of the hearing. Such
decision is final and not subject to review.

you and the CBOE. In the case of residential real property, such fees and
expenses cannot exceed $150.00 per case. The arbitrator's fees and expenses,
not including counsel fees, are to be paid as provided in the decision.

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:
AL02 - The actual valuation of your property has been adjusted based on new information. This may
be information you have supplied, corrections of characteristics or additional sales which we have
uncovered during the appeals process.
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.

Appeal for the excessive assesment of 1857 Laurus Lane, Johnstown, CO. 80534
Last year in 2008 I protested the assesment value of my house . The conclusion was $170.000.
I agreed to this amount because the last house comparable to mine just sold for that amount.
They had been trying to sell it for almost 2 years for $189.000 and had to come down that much to finally
close on the deal.. The conclusion is attached .
I find it totally unreasonable to now asses my house for $181250 for the same period.
Homes like mine are now selling for: 19 Lindenwood $149.900, 51 Victoria Dr. $139.900,
1833 Laurus lane, $149.900, Many are not selling at all, They have for sale signs on them for I to 2 years
already.

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,

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
