(303)3564000 EXT.4225 COLORADO NOTICE OF INVALID APPEAL July 22, 1992 PARCEL NO. : 146921000071 PIN NO. : R 0137191 TO: NANCY A. WESTERGAARD 2990 WCR 17 BRIGHTON, CO 80601 Dear Petitioner(s) : Your request to appeal your real or personal property valuation has been received in this office, however, there is no record of your having appealed first to the County Assessor's Office. Under C.R.S. §39-8-106(1) , no appeal may be accepted by the the County Board of Equalization without first having been refused or denied in whole or in part by the Assessor during the Assessor's appeal period. Although we cannot accept your appeal, we do urge you to contact the Assessor's Office to be certain there has been no error in your property valuation. Very truly yours, BO MD OFEQUULL ZA ION Donald D. Warden, Clerk to the Board Carol A. Harding, Deputy _\ cc: Warren Lasell, Assessor 920745 isOO. 5 ‘J„,),z, • July 9 , 1992 Nancy A. Westergaard 2990 Weld County Road 17 Brighton, CO 80601 County Commissioners Weld County, Colorado Ms. Phyllis Newby, Weld County Land Assessor Re: Real Property Reclassification Greetings : I hereby demand a hearing concerning the reclassification of the above referenced property from "Agricultural " to "Tract" basis , in light of the following facts : 1 . As of the last property assessment, the Assessor ' s office based their assessment on only part (four instead of 12 acres) of the parcel owned by me . This has apparently since been corrected, although no updated notice of valuation has been received which accurately reflects the information upon which taxes are calculated. A copy of the notice is attached. 2 . At some point during 1992 , the property was reclassified from an agricultural to a tract basis , which increased the property tax more than 2 ,400 percent. I was not notified of the change in classification, nor given the opportunity to lodge a protest. 3 . The Colorado Revised Statutes state that once a property is classified for tax purposes , it shall remain so classified until its use changes or the assessor discovers that the classification is erroneous . My property has been used agriculturally for many years , and is presently so used. Therefore, no basis exists for reclassification according to the code. Proof of these claims is attached in the form of a current property lease and a letter from the prior tenant farmer. The property laid fallow in 1991 only, due to the fact that the previous owner intended to sell the property and did esclbri CC ! ', 03 County Commissioners & Ms. Phyllis Newby July 9 , 1992 Page Two not want an existing lease to act as an impediment to the sale. 4 . A Colorado Supreme Court ruling on May 25 , 1992 (M.D.C. Contruction Co. v. Boulder County) established that land must be assessed as agricultural when it is used by a lessee as farm or ranch land. 5 . The new property tax represents a hardship and undue burden upon me as the property owner and if instituted may force me to sell the property. Even in this event, the marketability and value of the property will be greatly reduced due to reclassification . I feel that I was denied due process and that the reclassification has been unfairly imposed. I hereby request a hearing before the Board of Commissioners at the earliest opportunity and will anxiously await your responses .
