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 local taxing authorities hold budget hearings in the fall. If you are concerned about mill levies, we recommend that you attend these budget hearings.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Protest of assigned property value Parcel # 106134001003 Account # R8I25600 I am appealing the assigned valuation after review of 18115 Wagon Trail, Margil Farms, first filing, Mead on the grounds that the assigned value does not reflect the market conditions as they existed in June 2008 nor does the 7.95% increase in assigned value over the 2007 value reflex the neutral to slight decline in assigned actual values giving to neighboring homes. Attached are copies of the Weld County property profiles of the three sales which have occurred in the Margil Farms, first filing, with square footage of between 2,500 and 3,000 over the past year, 18100 Outlook Court and 18040 and 18689 on Wagon Trail. (Also attached is the profile for 18115 Wagon Trail.) 18100 Outlook Court most closely represents an equivalent to 18115 (an extra bedroom and bath offset by a smaller garage) being 2,699 square feet and stucco exterior. The house sold in August 2007 for $425,000 and has an assigned actual value of $402,487. The situs of this house is one of the best subdivision, providing both views and limited traffic. 18689 Wagon Trail closed on July 3, 2008 but would have been under contract prior to June 30, 2008. It is a 2,746 square foot, stucco veneered house (an extra bedroom offset by a smaller garage) on one acre and backs to planned community open space. The property sold for $407,500 and has an assigned actual value of $392,153. 18040 Wagon Trail is a 2,518 square foot, brick veneered house, on over two acres of land, which backs to community open space. The property closed in December 2008 for $440,000 and has an assigned an actual value of $424,041. This property was being marketed at the same time I purchased 18115 with an asking price $50,000 greater. All three properties have better locations. Two border community open space and there is on a rise in the interior of the subdivision which provide the Outlook Court property with magnificent views. In contrast, 18115 while currently excellent views of the mountains (and a gas well), it adjoins WCR 7, a heavily traveled gravel road which is planned to be a major arterial road with commercial development. Additionally, during the second half of 2007 and first half of 2008 the property immediately to the south was first in foreclosure and then an abandoned bank property with the exterior in disrepair and an eyesore. Based upon these three sales, I would expect a sale price for 18115 during the early part of 2008 would have been in the $405,000 to $410,000 range and based upon the discount implied of actual sale to assigned actual value by Weld County of $395,000 to $400,000. Further, there have been no changes in 18115 Wagon Trail and yet the assigned actual value is increased by first 12.01% to $464,842 and then dropped to $448,000, still a 7.95% increase. The three immediately adjoining properties of 18157, 18110, and 18063 had changes of 2.89%, 0.30%, and -5.90%, respectively. Therefore, at the maximum there should be no change is the 2007 assigned actual value of $415,000 and I am asking that the assigned actual value be set at $407,500, reflecting the actual sales values.

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.
