SUBJECT: Special Assessment Certifications for Zoning and
Building Violations.
`.iJvj� 16"
As you know,we periodically request your certification of certain civil penalties as special assessments
to be collected along with property taxes.All these requests are based upon orders issued from the
Weld County Court after internal review by the Department of Planning Services and the County
Attorney's Office.In most cases,the property owner admits that there is a violation of the Weld County
Code,agrees to pay an initial fine,and agrees to a plan with deadlines to fix the issue.This plan becomes
an order of the court.Even after the deadlines pass,staff works with property owners who are making
good faith efforts to fix the problem and does not ask the court to enforce the agreement by entering a
daily penalty order.If the deadlines pass and no significant progress is made,then the County Attorney
asks the court for a hearing where we prove that the violation still exists,and the property owner hasn't
done what they agreed to do.In other cases,the daily penalty was ordered after the County proved the
violation to the court at trial,or the property owner refused to engage with the court process and a
default judgement was issued.Once the property owner fixes the problem and has paid the initial fine,
Planning Services closes the violation,and the County Attorney files a motion with the court to waive
any penalties not certified to the Treasurer and dismiss the case.
Per Weld County Code section 23-10-40(A),any penalties not paid within 30 days may be certified to the
County Treasurer as a special assessment.

Frank and Yrene Martinez,
This letter is to provide you with notice of Weld County's intent to certify certain liens on your property to the
Weld County Treasurer.As you know,the County Court found your property known as street address and number
VACANT 0297-33-4-00-009 to be in violation of the Weld County Code.
On August 14,2023,the Court entered an Order Imposing Daily Penalties,and ordered you to pay a daily Penalty
of$50.00 per day beginning on August 14,2023,and continuing until the zoning violation is removed from the
property(Court Order attached).Upon information and belief,the zoning violation still exists on your property.
At a public hearing on November 8,2023,at 9:00 a.m.,the Weld County Board of County Commissioners will
determine whether to certify the continuing daily penalties against your property which have continued to accrue.
The hearing will be held at the Weld County Administration Building at 1150 O Street,Greeley,CO 80632.The
hearing will address the penalties for the period August 14,2023,through October 8,2023.This period totals 55
days fora total of$2,750.00.Please note that the daily penalty will continue to accrue until the property is brought
into compliance with the Weld County Code.
The total request at the hearing will be Z 750,00.Such lien would have priority over all other security interests,
except for taxes.In addition to the$2,750.00,the Weld County Treasurer's fee may increase the lien as permitted
by law.
You may avoid this hearing and the Treasurer's fee by paying the full amount to Weld County prior to the hearing.
Alternative arrangements may be made by contacting Cynthia Villanueva at 970-400-3536. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions.
Respectfully,
Adria Schiel
