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

An assessment percentage will be applied to the actual value of your property before taxes are
calculated. The assessment percentage for residences is projected to be 9.74%. Generally, a!;
other property is assessed at 29% of actual value (39-1-104(1) and (1.5)(a). C.R.S.). A change in the
projected residential assessment percentage is not grounds for appealing property values or abatement (39-5-
121(1), 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.
If data from that period were insufficient, data from the five year period ending June 30 1996 were used.
Your property was valued as of January 1 of the current year. The "current year actual value" represents the
actual or market value of your property. The tax notice you receive next January from the treasurer will be
based on that value.

APPEAL OF PROPERTY TAX VALUATION
20134 CACTUS DRIVE
JOHNSTOWN, CO
AUGUST 4, 1997
Attached is a comparative market analysis data and statistical sold
summaries based on the time period of January, 1995 to December
1996 for Northmoor Acres Subdivision and comparative properties.
These summaries are based upon the market approach to valuation of
the properties.
Based on the attached data the assessed value of 20134 Cactus Drive
is too high for the following reasons.
The most comparable sold last December has 161 sq. ft. less but has
more mature and complete landscaping, where the landscaping at
20134 Cactus Drive is incomplete and immature. There are no
outbuildings. Also due to easements over 14000 sq. ft. of the
property can not be fully utilized.
The house at 20134 Cactus Drive is of frame construction as to some
of the comparables are of brick construction.
The average valuation of properties sold in the Northmoor area for
that time period was $181,216. My property should be valued close
to the average for the reasons listed above.
By average square footage price the valuation should be $195,886.

The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of Monday, August 4, 1997, at or about the
hour of 1:30 p.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.

additional information, please call me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,
BOD OF EQUALIZATION
