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.

Ceplius 3444 County Road 19 Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621 720-685-1607 3 July 2007 Weld County Board of Equalization Post Office Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Dear Sir/Madam: In his denial of my protest, Mr. Woodruff alludes to comparison to similar properties. I'm well acquainted with my area. There is some new construction; however, I don't know of, and a search of county records doesn't turn up, any similar resale properties within my area. There are numerous properties that have been for sale for two years or longer. Mr. Woodruff states my property has been uniformly valued following Colorado law; but, he doesn't provide any comparable sales. He might as well have said he put values on the board and threw darts. Without comparable sales, his decision seems arbitrary and capricious. Since my home is less than five years old, I'm allowed to use the cost to rebuild as a basis for my valuation. According to my insurer(statement enclosed), the cost to rebuild during the time period was between $432,000 and $450,000. Mr. Woodruff is asking for a valuation almost 16%above this, which is ludicrous. Based on the lack of comparables, it is unreasonable; and, appears to simply be an attempt to make up for tax revenue lost to record foreclosures at the expense of those who do honor their obligations. Thank you for your consideration. Cordially, Steven S.
