other evidence may be introduced. If the decision of the BAA is further
appealed to the Court of Appeals only the record created at the BAA hearing

CBOE of your intent. You and the CBOE select an arbitrator from the official list

participate. The hearings are informal. The arbitrator has the authority to issue

The appraisal value of property is based on the appropriate consideration of the approaches to value required by law. The Assessor has determined that
your property should be included in the following category(ies):
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS VALUED BY CONSIDERING THE MARKET APPROACH.
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 defemination 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
1995/1996 TIME PERIOD. THIS COMPARISON SHOWS YOUR ACTUAL PROPERTY VALUE TO BE
CORRECT FOR THAT PERIOD.

The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of Tuesday, July 22, 1997, at or about the
hour of 8:30 a.m., to hold a hearing on your valuation for assessment. This hearing will be held at
the Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado, in the First Floor Hearing
Room. A number of hearings have been scheduled at this time; peitioners will be asked to sign in
with the Clerk upon arrival, and cases will be heard on a first come / first heard basis.
You have a right to attend this hearing and present evidence to the Board in support of your
petition. The Weld County Assessor or his representative will be present. The Board will make its
decision on the basis of the record made at said 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, 1997,
and mailed to you on or before August 10, 1997.
Because of the volume of cases before the Board of Equalization, all cases shall be limited to 15
minutes, of which you will be allowed 10 minutes for your presentation. 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.
