Weld County Board of Equalization 2021-2209 ASOlO9 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM WRITING IN APPEAL OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX VALUATION AND DETERMINATION. WE PURCHASED THIS WASH USED IN JANUARY OF 2018. WE DO NOT HAVE THE ORGINAL VALUE OF THE EQUIPMENT SO I WAS TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO USE MARKET VALUE. I TALKED TO CAR WASH VENDORS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MARKET VALUE WOULD BE. I WAS TOLD BY THEM TO USE CAR WASH CONSIGNMENT.COM TO FIND THE VALUE. I WENT AND FOUND THE EQUIPMENT OF THE SAME YEAR AND CONDITION AS OUR EQUIPMENT. I THOUGHT OUR EQUIPMENT WAS WELL KEPT SO I WENT WITH THE HIGHER VALUE OF EQUIPMENT INSTEAD OF THE LOWEST THAT I COULD FIND. I PRINTED THAT INFORMATION AND SUBMITTED IT TO YOU IN THE APPEAL. WHERE ARE YOU FINDING YOUR VALUE TO OUR PROPERTY? IT IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I CAN FIND. THE NOTICE TO LET YOU KNOW IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED WITH OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY WAS NEVER RECEIVED ANY OF THESE YEARS. DO YOU HAVE AN EMAIL THAT YOU SENT THEM TO US? THIS WOULD BE USEFUL IN THE FUTURE YEARS FOR THE VALUATION OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY. MOST YEARS THE EQUIPMENT GOES UNCHANGED AND THE VALUE SHOULD NOT INCREASE. WE WENT FROM A VALUE OF $17,415.00 TO $332,071.00 WHICH WAS APPEALED AND REDUCED TO $69,189.00 WHICH AT THE MOMENT DID NOT KNOW HOW THIS APPEAL PROCESS WORKS AND DID NOT APPEAL AGAIN WHICH WE SHOULD HAVE. THIS YEAR IT WENT FROM $69189.00 TO $156,328.00. NOTHING AGAIN HAD CHANGED AND THE VALUE OF EQUIPMENT THAT DEPRECIATES WENT UP. WE AGAIN APPEALED AND I AGAIN SUBMITTED A FAIR MARKET VALUE WHICH TOTALED $37110.00 THE DETERMINATION CAME BACK AT $85141.00 AN INCREASE OF $15952.00 FROM THE YEAR BEFORE WHEN ALL THAT WAS SUBMITTED HASN'T CHANGED. I AM AGAIN GOING TO SUBMIT THESE NUMBERS AND VALUATION AND BELIEVE THEM TO BE THE MOST ACCURATE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHERE YOUR VALUE WAS DETERMINED FROM.

You must select only one of the following three (3) options for appeal: 1. Appeal to Board of Assessment Appeals: You have the right to appeal the County Board of Equalization's decision to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals. A hearing before that Board will be the last time you may present testimony or exhibits or other evidence, or call witnesses in support of your valuation. If the decision of the Board of Assessment Appeals is further appealed to the Court of Appeals pursuant to C.R.S. §39-8-108(2), only the record of proceedings from your hearing before the Board of Assessment Appeals and your legal brief are filed with the appellate court. All appeals to the Board of Assessment Appeals filed after August 10, 2021, MUST comply with the following provisions of C.R.S. §39-8-107(5): (5)(a)(I) On and after August 10, 2021, in addition to any other requirements under law, any petitioner appealing either a valuation of rent -producing commercial real property to the Board of Assessment Appeals pursuant to C.R.S. §39-8-108(1) or a denial of an abatement of taxes pursuant to C.R.S. §39-10-114 shall provide to the County Board of Equalization or to the Board of County Commissioners of the County in the case of an abatement, and not to the Board of Assessment Appeals, the following information, if applicable: (A) Actual annual rental income for two full years including the base year for the relevant property tax year; (B) Tenant reimbursements for two full years including the base year for the relevant property tax year; (C) Itemized expenses for two full years including the base year for the relevant property tax year; and (D) Rent roll data, including the name of any tenants, the address, unit, or suite number of the subject property, lease start and end dates, option terms, base rent, square footage leased, and vacant space for two full years including the base year for the relevant property tax year.

(b)(I) The Assessor, the County Board of Equalization, or the Board of County Commissioners of the County, as applicable, shall, upon request made by the petitioner, provide to a petitioner who has filed an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals not more than ninety days after receipt of the petitioner's request, the following information: (A) The primary method used by the county to determine the value of the subject property; and (B) The rates used by the county to determine the value of the subject property under the method identified in accordance with subsection (5)(b)(l)(A) of this section. (II) The party providing the information to the petitioner pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (b) shall redact all confidential information contained therein. (c) If a petitioner fails to provide the information required by subparagraph (I) of paragraph (a) of this subsection (5) by the deadline specified in subparagraph (II) of said paragraph (a), the County may move the Board of Assessment Appeals to compel disclosure and to issue appropriate sanctions for noncompliance with such order. The motion may be made directly by the County Attorney and shall be accompanied by a certification that the County Assessor or the County Board of Equalization has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with such petitioner in an effort to obtain the information without action by the Board of Assessment Appeals. If an order compelling disclosure is issued under this paragraph (c) and the petitioner fails to comply with such order, the Board of Assessment Appeals may make such orders in regard to the noncompliance as are just and reasonable under the circumstances, including an order dismissing the action or the entry of a judgment by default against the petitioner. Interest due the taxpayer shall cease to accrue as of the date the order compelling disclosure is issued, and the accrual of interest shall resume as of the date the contested information has been provided by the taxpayer.

The arbitration process involves the following: a. Select an Arbitrator: You must notify the Board of Equalization within 30 days that you will pursue arbitration. You and the Board of Equalization will select an arbitrator from the official list of qualified people. If you cannot agree on an arbitrator, the District Court of the county in which the property is located (i.e. Weld) will select the arbitrator. b. Arbitration Hearing Procedure: Arbitration hearings are held within sixty (60) days from the date the arbitrator is selected, and are set by the arbitrator. Both you and the Board of Equalization are entitled to participate in the hearing. The hearing is informal. The arbitrator has the authority to issue subpoenas for witnesses, books, records documents and other evidence pertaining to the value of the property. The arbitrator also has the authority to administer oaths, and determine all questions of law and fact presented to him. The arbitration hearing may be confidential and closed to the public if you and the Board of Equalization agree. The arbitrator's decision must be delivered personally or by registered mail within ten (10) days of the arbitration hearing. c. Fees and Expenses: The arbitrator's fees and expenses are agreed upon by you and the Board of Equalization. In the case of residential real property, the fees may not exceed $150.00 per case.
