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:
AG04 - Ag land value is based on production capabilities of soil types as indicated by soil
conservation service and is not related to market value it is based on production over a 10 year
period of time.
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.

These lots include undeveloped land, agriculture structures, and residential property, yet only the
increases is agriculture land valuations are under review in this appeal. While our Client understands the
increase in commodity prices of grain and corn effect the valuations, and are set by the state for
agriculture lands, the increases found here are high. Additionally, there has been a severe decline in sales
of such lots statewide and in Weld County, Colorado, which initiated during the 4th 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.
Further, it is our position that the Weld County Assessors office did not review the protest in full on these
properties beginning with Account No. 4682407 and proceeding below to Account No. 6994197. When
we did not receive Notices of Determination ("NODs") for those properties, by July 9th, 2009, we
contacted their offices only to learn that these protests were overlooked. We received the NODs by email
the same day we contacted the Assessor, which conclusively establishes the Assessor's failure to engage
in a thorough review of the valuations for these properties.
Should you have any questions or correspondence with regard to this protest, please do not hesitate to
contact our office to speak with Mr. James P. Gregory or Ms. Jessen L. Gregory.
Sincerely.
JessL. Gregory, Esq.

The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of July 31, 2009, at or about the hour of 3:45
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.

Hello Paul,
It appears we have been playing a game of phone tag, so I think it might be easier to correspond by
E-mail. Debbie Fangmeier indicated you have a list of Accounts that have been stipulated, as well as
some accounts that are to be withdrawn. Please reply to this e-mail indicating which cases are to be
withdrawn, and Debbie will forward the signed stipulations once they arrive.
Thanks!
