PL0824
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Matt Conroy, Assistant County Attorney
DATE: November 9, 2022
SUBJECT: Special Assessment Certifications for Zoning and
Building Violations.
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 also 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. As such, all requested certifications are for the period from
either the date of the court order or the last certification through October 9, 2022.
Hearings Scheduled for 11/9/22
The first four cases we have today have never been certified by the Board as a special assessment,
though the first has come before the Board several times in the past.

Notice of Certification of Lien to Weld -County Treasurer
October 26, 2022
Jesus Vega
1025 E. 18* Street
Greeley, CO 80631
Mr. Vega:
This letter is to notify you of Weld County intent to certify certain liens on your property to the Weld
County Treasurer on November 9, 2022. Previously, the County Court found your property to be in
violation of the Weld County Code.
On February 11, 2021, the Court granted the County's Order Imposing Daily Penalties, finding that your
property was still in violation of the Weld County Code, and ordered you to pay a daily penalty of $50.00
per day beginning on February 1, 2021, and continuing until the zoning violation is removed from the
property. Penalties were waived and suspended until September 1 to complete a Site Plan Review. Upon
information and belief, no Site Plan Review has been completed and the zoning violation still exists on
your property. Thus, the Court reimposed the penalties on September 2, 2022.
At a public hearing on November 9, 2022, at 9:00 a.m, the Weld County Board of County
Commissioners will determine whether to certify the daily penalties against your property which have
accrued.The hearing will be held at the Weld County Administration Building at 1150 "0" Street,
Greeley, CO 80631. The hearing will address the penalties for the period from September 2, 2022,
through October 9, 2022. This period totals 38 days and amounts to $1,900.00. 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 $1,1100. Such lien will have priority over all other security
interests, except for taxes. In addition to the $1,900.00, 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
