Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Real Property Notice of Valuation for 514 Lakewood Court, Windsor, CO 80550 Schedule Number: R7715599 Windsor, WWV2 L4, BLK 2 Dear Sir or Madam: We are filing this letter in protest of the revised 2009 tax year valuation for our residence, as referenced above. A copy of the Real and Personal Property Notice of Determination is attached. • The proposed valuation is a 19 percent increase over the valuation for tax year 2008. Our 2008 total valuation is $315,311. The revised 2009 valuation is proposed at $375,900. Briefly described: our home is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home with a 2 car garage. Our basement is unfinished and other than landscaping improvements over the last 7 years since construction we have improved nothing else in our home. We do not have central air as noted in the assessor's records and our total SF is 1928 finished. • A review of the Weld County website for sales of comparable homes ($300,000 - $500,000) in the Westwood Village area of Windsor lists only four sales in the 18 month time period proceeding June 30, 2008 (valuation period). Those sales range in value from $370,000 to a high of $407, 900. Copies of county records of those transactions are attached as Exhibit "A". Only one of these sales is remotely comparable. The sale that is similar but larger is a ranch style home, with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, finished SF of 1555 main floor plus 863 SF finished in the basement. The home also has a 3 car garage. Our home as explained above and noted in your assessor records Exhibit "B" is under 2000 SF finished while the most reasonable comparable home has 2418 SF finished. • The fact that there are only four sales in Westwood Village during the valuation period, for homes over $300,000 is an additional reminder of the depressed real estate market during that time and continuing into 2009. • Exhibit C illustrates the average price of home sales in Weld County from 2004 through the first quarter of 2009 and shows that the average price declined more than 8 percent from January 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008. • As noted in the first item we have made no significant improvements to our home since we moved in other than complete landscaping. There have been no improvements made to our home in the specific valuation period therefore we are surprised by the significant increase in value and believe the value of our home has decreased as indicated by the average sale price decline in the area and in comparison to other homes in our neighborhood. Two homes on our block have been on the market for over a year and still not sold. • In regards to the value of other homes in our neighborhood of similar ranch style, we can see that they have been assessed far differently than ours in this same time period. One specific example is the home at 506 Lakewood Court, only 2 lots to the north of our home. This home is larger, has a finished basement and a 3 car garage (Exhibit D). This home is valued significantly less Ken and Janet Burns 514 Lakewood Court Windsor, CO 80550 970-686-5182 than our assessment in 2008. Although their value may or may not have increased since the last valuation period it is still a much larger home than ours with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and is valued less than ours overall and on a cost per square foot. • Of particular concern is the valuation of our land. Our land valuation is proposed to increase from $82,000 to $150,000. The land usage, appearance and area have not changed since the last valuation. An increase of nearly 75% cannot be justified in this kind of market. In the example listed above, this home's land value is assessed at $60,000 which seem more in line with the decline in the market and again more realistic. We propose a decrease in land valuation to $60,000 (the actual land valuation of our neighbor's.). This valuation is based on the market and on the same principles that the usage, appearance and area have not changed since the last valuation period. • After completing an analysis of the square foot price of the 4 comparable sales and the value of some of the ranch style homes on Lakewood Court (Exhibit E) there is no reasonable or conclusive market valuation that applies. As evidenced by the price per square foot, it makes no sense that the smaller homes are priced more per square foot than the larger homes when both our home and the home next door have had no improvements since they were constructed. Ours is the only 2 car garage home on the block with an unfinished basement yet the price per square foot is the second highest on the block. Since home prices decreased in the valuation period at 8 % then we believe that our home should be decreased by this same reasonable value. Based on an average square foot price and the 8% decrease in value and for the other numerous reasons listed above, the highest valuation that can be reasonably applied to our home is the sum of the 2006 valuation of $322,032 less the 8% decrease for land valuation resulting in a total valuation of $296,269. We request that the valuation for our home in 2009 be adjusted to not more than $300,000. We hope you will respectfully evaluate all of the attached information and draw the same conclusions.

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.
