AGRICULTURAL LAND VALUE IS DETERMINED SOLEY BY THE EARNING OR PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY OF THE LAND, CAPITALIZED AT A RATE SET BY LAW. ALL OTHER PROPERTY, INCLUDING VACANT LAND, IS VALUED BY CONSIDERING THE COST, MARKET, AND INCOME APPROACHES. If your concern is the amount of your property tax,local taxing authorities(county,city,fire protection,and other special districts)hold budget hearings in the fall. Please refer to your tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of these districts,and plan to attend these budget hearings. The Assessor has carefully studied all available information,giving particular attention to the specifics included on your protest and has determined the valuation(s)assigned to your property. The reasons for this defemination of value are: DUE TO THE VOLUME OF APPEALS YOUR NOTICE OF DETERMINATION HAS BEEN DELAYED AND POSTMARKED LATER THAN JUNE 30TH.

It was valued last year at 49 , 990, and this year it jumped to 91 , 377; that ' s an increase of over 82%, and why??? As I stated in my protest, I feel a mistake had to have been made in valuing my house , either by the computer, or someone at the assessor ' s office . I sincerely believe my home to be worth about 53 ,000, but after protesting, I was flat out denied. I was so upset that I immediately called the assessor assigned to my case for an explanation. His name is Larry Cumbly, and he really didn ' t seem to understand the details of how the computer assessed my home ' s value. All he knew was that my house was compared with other houses in rural Weld County of similar square footage which have sold recently. I asked for details on what criteria besides square footage the computer considered, and Larry seemed to have no idea . I think it ' s actually ridiculous for my house to be compared to ones on the market , or recently sold since my house isn' t even close to completion . I dread to imagine the value if the house were finished . The point is that if I were to b put my place on the market "as is" I would be lucky to get the 53, 000 I think my house worth. Five years from now it might be a different story, but it will be unfair and wrong for the county to tax me on what doesn 't exist . As I told Mr . Cumbly, I ' d be glad to let you come out and see for yourself . Please reconsider my case , as the current assessment is simply unacceptable .

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 grounds for appealing property values or abatement(39-5- 121(1),C.RS.) 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.

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. EASTON WILLIAM WESLEY- R4349286 Page 2 At least two (2)working days prior to your hearing the Assessor will have available, at your request, the data supporting his valuation of your property.
