The Assessor's determination of value after review is based on the following: Your property has been uniformly valued following Colorado law. Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties which sold during the Jan 2019 to June 2020 time period. If you disagree with the Assessor's decision, you have the right to appeal to the County Board of Equalization for further consideration, § 39-8-106(1)(a), C.R.S. The deadline for filing real property appeals is July 15. The Assessor establishes property values. The local taxing authorities (county, school district, city, fire protection, and other special districts) set mill levies. The mill levy requested by each taxing authority is based on a projected budget and the property tax revenue required to adequately fund the services it provides to its taxpayers. The local taxing authorities hold budget hearings in the fall. If you are concerned about mill levies, we recommend that you attend these budget hearings. Please refer to last year's tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of the local taxing authorities. Please refer to the reverse side of this notice for additional information.

Please refer to the spread sheet and aria! view as we go through the five statements on this page. All the homes are located near each other as indicated on the map of Dusk PL and Dusk Ct. 1. 390 Dusk PL had an original purchase price of 448,400 and 402 Dusk Ct had an original purchase price of 488,000 with a 39,600 difference. 2019 valuation for 390 Dusk Place was 515,000.2019 valuation for 402 Dusk Ct. was 537,827. The difference in 2019 valuation is 22,827 difference. Now in 2021 valuation for 390 Dusk PL the valuation is 593,000 and the valuation for 402 Dusk Ct. is 593,346 with a difference of 346. This is not right The valuation is way too high for 390 Dusk Pl. as compared with 402 Dusk Ct. 2. If you look at the tax increase for 390 Dusk PL on the spread sheet, you have given the third highest increase to the least expensive house of the Daniel models in our are& Why would you do this? The assessed valuation for 390 Dusk Pl. is way too high. 3. The Daniel sales model is assessed at 45,580. The sales model has a finished walkout basement The upstairs has just about any upgrade you could have. The sales model has 347 more finished square feet. With all the extras it has, our house is just 3,150 less than the modeL The model is much more expensive than our house at 390 Dusk PL Your valuation has our house 44,411 less than the model. That is not right. Our valuation should be much less than the modeL Once again your valuation is much too high for 390 Dusk Pl. 4. If you refer to my spreadsheet you will see that three Daniel homes, 390 Dusk PL, 250 Dusk P1., and 402 Dusk Ct., have basically the same value. Yet the original purchase price for one was quite a lot more. How can the value for these three be nearly the same? Once again your valuation is much too high for 390 Dusk PL 5. Please take a look at the areal view of our house and note we do not have a covered porch or a walk out basement. We have a very small concrete patio.
