When this vacant land was being purchased, the 1996 property taxes were advised by the Weld County Treasurer' s office to be $766 . (Ref : Certificate of Taxes Due, 4/29/97, 10 : 17 AM, Cert . #3974) 2 . Based partially on this knowledge, we proceeded with the purchase and closed on this property on 5/23/97 . 3 . When the tax bill for 1997 arrived on 1/23/98, we were shocked to discover that a significant increase had occured without our knowledge. Taxes due were now $1299, an increase of $533 (1 .7 times ! ) over the previous year. 4 . Prior to receipt of this tax bill, no notice of any tax increase was received, nor did we learn of this increase from any other source. This document arrived in late January 1998 as a complete surprise to us . COMMENT Although in 4/97 we felt that taxes of $766 for a piece of undeveloped land was exhorbitant, it was at least expected and could be planned for in the next year' s budget . The effort to raise the new amount of $1299 in such a short time has created a hardship for our family. This has come at a time when we are trying to ready our current home for sale in preparation for construction of a new home in Weld County. We request that the taxes due be returned to the original amount of $766, and that the overage recently paid be reimbursed to us immediately. Although the following will have no bearing on your action on this petition, you should be aware that we are now quite concerned regarding our first taxing experience in Weld County. In almost 27 years of home ownership in four states, we have never experienced anything even remotely like this . First, an absurdly high tax for vacant land, then a no-notice increase of 70% ! Is this "business as usual" in the Weld County administrative offices? Please advise if we should expect more of the same treatment should we decide to continue with plans to construct a new home in Weld County. ° . eer--L— Edward W. T or I Esther B. Talor 5/26/98 Donald D.Warden Clerk to the Board Weld County Board of Commissioners P.O.Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re:0096793 Dear Mr.Warden: This communication is in response to your letter dated 5/19/98, delivered to us on the afternoon of 5/23/98, Memorial Day weekend. In this letter,we were advised that, in order to be heard at a 6/3/98 meeting regarding our petition for tax refund,any supporting documentation needed to be received at your office at least seven calendar days prior, or by 5/27/98. First, please be advised that is unlikely that compliance with this schedule requirement can occur, due to the short notice received and the holiday weekend on which it arrived. This letter transmits our best effort to comply. If,when you have received this material,you are still unable to review it prior to the scheduled meeting, please advise us of when the next scheduled meeting will occur at which we may be heard regarding this matter. Unless we hear from you, we plan to attend the 6/3/98 meeting. Our telephone number is listed below should you have insufficient time to reply via mail. Further, as requested, enclosed please find our statement arguing for a partial rebatement of taxes paid for 1997 in the amount of$533.
