Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization, pursuant to Colorado law, has authority to hear petitions
for appeal from persons whose objections to or protests of excessive, erroneous, or illegal valuation
have been refused or denied by the County Assessor. However, for tax year 1997, the County
Board of Equalization may hear only those matters which were received or postmarked on or
before July 15, 1997. Your petition was received; however, the postmark indicates that it was
mailed after July 15, 1997. Therefore, the County Board of Equalization does not have jurisdiction
to hear your appeal and thus, your petition is dismissed.
Very truly yours,
BOA!RD OF

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, all
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 ground 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.
DOCUMENTATION - REASON FOR REQUESTING A REVIEW:
In July 1995 the house was appraised at $60,000. In May of 1996. FirstBank did a drive-by appraisal of the
property for a second mortgage and I believe they determined $84,000. That was without seeing the inside or
the backyard, I realize this request for a review is late,but it has since come to my attention that the reason
behind the difference in what the home could sell for and the tax appraisal may have been due to a computer
error. This especially seemed to be the case when my neighbor just one house to the North of me mentioned
the valuation on the property she is occupying was only for$70,000. Although I have made improvements to
the property, I do not believe that it has increased$36,017 from July of '95 to June of '96. Nor do I
believe I could sell it for that. As to this date.I still have no real yard in the back, permanent flooring in the
majority of the house or countertops in the kitchen, and haven't since purchasing the home. Hopefully next
year! I do not have knowledge of what price any houses in the area sold for during the 18 months that the data
was being collected. However,just recently a house 3 to the North of mine sold for$94,000. I believe that it
sold later than June 1996 and it had been added onto,the basement was finished, the yard established, and
overall in much better condition. I do live on 11th Avenue which regardless of how much houses to the West
may have sold for, does affect the value of my property.
Based upon the information shown above, please give your estimate of the true market value of your property
as of June 30, 1996 $ $77,000
