The Assessor has determined that your property should be included in the following category(ies): Residential property - The property is valued by the market approach to value . If your concern is the amount of your property tax,local taxing authorities(county,city,fire protection,and other special districts)hold budget hearings in the fall. Please refer to your tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of these districts,and plan to attend these budget hearings. The Assessor has carefully studied all available information,giving particular attention to the specifics included on your protest.and has determined the valuation(s)assigned to your property.

This comparison shows your actual property value to be correct for that period. PETITIONER'S ASSESSOR'S VALUATION PROPEI�Y CLASSIFICATION ESTIMATE on OF VALUE ACTUAL VALUE ACTUAL VALUE >. _ .

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Parcel 095915108007 Lot 6 Blk 10 Highland Hills I am writing to appeal my notice of denial. I feel the value of my property at 5000 W. 21" Street, Greeley, CO should be about $230,000 at most. Every other year there is an increase in my property value. This even occurred during a time when Greeley was#1 in the nation for foreclosures. Now we must contend with the foreclosures and the fact that the area has been overbuilt. I simply can't believe you can increase my home when a lot of homes in the same neighborhood are seeing their assessed values drop. One neighbor even has more finished square feet on the main level and a 30x40' finished garage. His home was built about the same time as mine. His assessed value dropped. I have discussed my problem many times with Mark Lusby, but it doesn't seem to do any good. A couple of weeks ago we talked. He looked the place over and said he thought he could do me some good as far as the assessor's valuation. But, I got the usual denial notice. I've never seen what you are comparing my home to for the valuation. My home is now 15 years old. I do wish you'd seriously consider reducing my assessed value to a value more realistic for this area. I really don't understand the large increase in my property value during the tight times referenced in Sunday's Greeley Tribune. The article cited the number of Greeley homes in foreclosure and the few residential building permits drawn for this quarter. Sales are very slow and were even slower in 2005-2006. There are homes in our neighborhood that have been on the market for four years. Even 18 months ago, homes weren't going up at about an 8% rate. I believe the $250,926.00 assessed value for my home is excessive. Sincerely, Ronald R.

This hearing will be held at the Weld County Department of Planning Services, Conference Room, 918 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 do not choose to attend this hearing, a decision will still be made by the Board by the close of business on August 3, 2007, and mailed to you on or before August 10, 2007. 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.
