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
November 2, 2022
Dave Sanger Sr.
PO Box 883
Frederick, CO 80530
Mr. Sanger:
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 to be in violation of
the Weld County Code.
On May 12, 2021, the Court granted the County's Motion to Impose Daily Penalties, finding that your
property was in violation of the Weld County Code, and ordered you to pay a daily penalty of $10.00 per
day beginning on May 12, 2021 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 hearine on November 14.2022 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 80631. The hearing will address the penalties for the period from May 23,
2022, through October 9, 2022. This period totals 140 days and amounts to $1,400.00. 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 S1.400.00, Such lien will have priority over all other security
interests, except for taxes. In addition to the $1,400.00, 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. Alternatively, arrangements may be made by contacting Bethany Pascoe at (970) 400-3555.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Respectfully,
