COST APPROACH
LAND VALUE
Sales utilized to establish the value in the subject neighborhood are from 2007 and the first six
months of the 2008 market for the 2009 assessment date. The comparative sales approach is the
most reliable method of land valuation. Pursuant to 39-104-(10.2) (c) C. R. S., the Assessor may
utilize sales from July 2003 through June 2008 to establish the proper value, if sufficient information is
not available in the prior 18 months. Also, comparables outside the subject property area may be
used. The Weld County Assessor has an established ongoing sales confirmation and validation
program for property transactions used in developing value.
The land size of the subject is 3,025 square feet. Based upon investigation and analysis, it is the
opinion of the appraisers that the value of $$7.50 accurately reflects the market value of the subject's
Land.

MARKET APPROACH SUMMARY
Real Property for the tax year 2009 must be valued utilizing data for the period one and one-half
years immediately prior to July 1, 2008. If comparable valuation data is not available from such one
and one-half year period to adequately determine the level of value for a class of property, the period
of five years immediately prior to July 1, 2008 shall be utilized to determine the level of value.
The Assessor has appropriately considered the Market Approach to value for the property on appeal.
The Sales Comparison Approach was considered in developing a market value for the Subject. Sales
used to establish a market value for the tax year 2009 are from January 1, 2007 through June 30,
2008. Pursuant to 39-1-104 (10.2)(c) C. R. S., the Assessor may utilize sales five years prior to July
1, 2008 to establish the proper value. All sales have been confirmed and verified through transfer
declarations as well as interviews with buyers, sellers or their representatives to the sale. All sales
used are arm's length transactions, and considered to be the most comparable properties sold in
relationship to the Subject property.
Based upon investigation and analysis, it is the opinion of the appraisers that the
value of $38.00 accurately reflects the market value of the subject property.

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:
CM05 - The law requires that all of 2007 and the first 6 months of 2008 data be used to establish
current values. We have considered all (3) three approaches to value in arriving at your current
valuation. We have denied your appeal based upon this data.
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.

Dear Sir:
I feel that I am being discriminated against in the valuation of my hangar at Platte Valley
Airport.
I appealed this tax issue with the assessor with no resolution. He did not even reduce my
tax valuation to be equal with identical size hangars, even though mine does not have any
of the amenities found in these comparable hangars. He taxes hangars at different rates
per square foot. The lowest is $.20/sq ft. to mine which is $.59/sq ft. His excuse was that
the lower rate hangar types had not been sold. By the way, the hangar that is taxed at
$.20 per square foot is a rental hangar with 13 units and is generating a substantial
income for the owners. I am a hobbyist that gains no income from my hangar. These
privately owned hobbyist hangars should not even be included in a commercial
classification. Another discriminatory issue is that these lower tax rate hangars have
heat, air conditioning, and some even have water and bathrooms. Mine has none of the
above. Lastly, the Platte Valley Airport generates a large amount of tax revenue for Weld
County for which we receive little service and poor roads.
Sincerely,
Mark Holliday

The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of August 3, 2009, at or about the hour of
11:00 AM, 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.
