The Assessor has determined that your property should be included in the following category(ies): Agricultural land - The value is determined soley by the earning or productive capacity of the land, capitalized at a rate set by law. 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. The reasons for this determination of value are: Your property has been uniformly valued following Colorado law and instructions published by the State Division of Property Taxation. Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties which sold during the 2005/2006 time period. This comparison shows your actual property value to be correct for that period. During the base period of January 1, 2005 to June 30 , 2006 all market sales, including foreclosure resales were considered in determining your property value . Any sale or foreclosure resale after July 1, 2006 will be considered for the 2009 appraisal period. This is in compliance with Colorado law.

On 05/19/07 I mailed a letter to the Weld County Assessors Office. The letter contained information on houses found around the area where we live. In order to compare the six houses and our house, we need something that all houses have in common. All houses have square feet, so this what we used as a common denominator. The letter contained a one page brief summary and all the information to back it up. On 06/28/07 we received a notice of denial from the Office of County Assessor. It stated that: "Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties which sold during the 2005/2006 time period" There was no information sent to back up this statement. In 05/2005 I did some research on property(houses) for sale in and around our house. The prices of houses figured out to be from $90.00 to $112.00 per square foot. This information was supplied to the Weld County Assessors Office at that time. It boils down to this: Our house is small (1483 Sq Ft) I feel a fare value for our house is in the area of$90.00 a square foot. The Assessors Office thinks it value should be $144.00 per square foot. (It would be very hard to find a house similar to ours that has a market value of$144.00 per square foot.) Thank You for Your Time Francis J and Ruth A Grout 0444 A 05/19/07 Parcel No. 106131000074 Account No. R0054395 Weld County Assessor: Attached are a few of the houses currently on the market(MLS Listing) in and around our location. The houses range in price from$155,000 to $299,900. Square footage ranges from 1512 to 3232. Market value for these houses are set by professional realtors in order to sell them in today's housing market. The price per square foot for these houses range from$58.00 to $115.00.

It is closer to the $90.00 range. Even the largest and newer of these houses(MLS ID#499369) is priced at $93.00 per square foot. We (The State of Colorado) are coming out of hard economical times. If anything the housing market has been down. Fewer buyers and more sellers will not cause a house to jump 39%in value. Currently you show our house valued at $104.00 per square foot($155491.00). We feel this is a somewhat higher than it should be based on information found in the MLS listings. $90.00 per square foot would be more in line with houses similar to ours in this area.
