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: R1499986
Property address: 100 Walnut 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.
I. 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. My 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, was not able to be
occupied until late 2008, and this should be considered in the valuation process.
3. This house, a rental, was determined to be a "meth house" in 2007. Although clean up was
done as required, the resale value would certainly be effected.
4. The Assessor's Office provided a Special Valuation in 2008 of $50,910. It is astounding the
Assessor's valuation would indicate a rise in value of this property from $50,9106 to $111,896 as
of June 30, 2008. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 #1 217 Oak 576 / 0 5-16-08 $ 75,000 $130
Comparable #2 217 Locust 736 / 0 2-23-07 $ 80,500 $109
Comparable #3 22 Elm 1175 / 0 1-31-07 $110,000 $ 93
Comparable #4 218 6th 848 / 0 8-31-07 $115,000 $135
The average square foot cost for these properties is $116.75 per square foot. The subject
property is 704 sq ft above ground and no basement. Applying this to the subject property, this
results in a value of $82,192.
Based on this information, we feel the value of our property should be either the same as the
Special Valuation, $50,910, or $82,192 per the above figures. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
