IN ACCORDANCE WITH 39- 8-106(1.5), C.R.S., YOU MUST STATE YOUR OPINION OF VALUE IN TERMS OF A SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT. Attach additional documents as necessary. I believe that $86,000-$88,000 is a much more accurate assessment for my home. This home is around 77 years old, there is no garage, only one bath. There is a partial basement that is partially finished and leaks every time we get a good rain. The wiring in the attic is old "nob & tube" and needs updated. This is a great old house, it just needs a lot of work and money and TLC to get it near the assessment the Assessor's office has made.

To assist you in determining the correct asking price we have provided you with a comprehensive market analysis of comparable properties that have been recently offered for sale in your neighborhood. This analysis is based strictly on homes that can be considered similar to yours, and has been specially prepared for you over the last few days. This 'Comprehensive' property analysis is divided into four categories: 1. Similar properties that are currently listed 2. Similar properties that have recently sold 3. Similar properties that have sales pending 4. Similar properties that failed to sell By carefully studying the comparable property locations, features, and the terms under which they are offered, we can develop a clear picture of the potential market for your property. By looking at the properties currently listed, we can see exactly what alternatives a serious buyer has to choose from. We can be certain that we are not under pricing the property. By looking at similar properties recently sold, we can see what homeowners have actually received over the last few months. This is the acid test that is used by lending institutions to determine how much they will be willing to lend a buyer for your home. While we naturally want top market value for the home, we can agree that there's a point where the price would be too high. By looking at homes that didn't sell, we can accurately determine that price point and be careful not to get too close to it. By doing our homework diligently, we can get maximum dollars in a reasonably short period of time.

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.
