Please refer to your tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of these districts, and plan to attend these budget hearings.

This property has been in our family since the 1950's, and was originally described as a "prisoner of war house" built during WWII. That makes the house somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty (50) years old. The key issues we want to raise are: 1. There are no "comparable" sales to this house, since the neighboring houses were built as custom homes, and generally ten or more years later, some as much as thirty to forty years later. 2. This property is NOT in the city limits, and as such does not receive sewer services unlike neighbors across the street who actually are in the city limits and receive such services. 3. No remodeling, additions or improvements have been made to this home in over twenty years. 4. This house has been a "family home" for my parents for nearly thirty years. They are both in their late seventies, and live on Social Security Income. My father was self- employed, so has no other source of income and on their tight budget they simply cannot afford a major increase in property taxes. We recognize that in general the value of properties rise, although there must be a point of diminishing value when you are dealing with a home of this age. Even with the theory that this property is increasing in value, no way should it increase by 31% in one assessment!!!. It is our firm belief that the assessment of this home should remain at it's current rate, or actually decline, dut to the age of the property. You can reach my parents at the address and phone number listed on your appeal form. If you have any additional questions please call or write me at : Linda S.

The assessment percentage for residences is projected to be /o. Generally, all other property is assessed at 29% of actual value (39-1-104(1) and (1.5)(a), C.R.S.).

Assessed value' for oil & gas production is 87.5% primary and 75% secondary. Appraisal data used to establish value were gathered from the 18 month period ending June 30 1996.
