ACTUAL VALUE AFTER
REVIEW
517,106
517,106
The Assessor has carefully studied all available information, giving particular attention to the
specifics included on your protest. 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.

Subject: Appeal the Assessor's decision of Denial of Protest
To the Board, I would like to start the appeal process of the decision made by the County Assessor's
office. I do not believe my home is assessed correctly after spending hours doing comparisons just in
our subdivision. I'm not sure how the Assessor's office establishes the values, but I looked at the hard
facts and compared similar homes, square footage (finished) lot sizes, if the home has or has not got a
RV garage, etc .
I had provided the Assessors office a fairly detailed letter with a spreadsheet showing these facts of
10 homes. Which I'm attaching to this appeal for you as well. I also compared over 30 other properties
within the Corbett Glen filing 3&4. Out of those 30 properties, 24 had a lower taxable value this year
than my home. My home is similar in finished footage, finishes within the homes, but I have a small lot
and no RV garage. But the Assessor has valued my home higher than ones with RV garages and larger
lots.
I have also attached information on (6) properties with homes exactly as ours, same builder. I have
provided pictures of the properties, a spreadsheet for each home with details as to Base tax value in
2021, square footage, lot size, RV garage. I also included details of the "Notice of Valuations" for the
past three years (2019,2020,2021) You will see how much these vary on these (6) properties. I was
surprised with the results of my comparisons. I hope you can see why I feel my home might not be
exactly correct.
I know the valuations will go up, but I don't think our home should be valued at 517K if others are
under the 500K mark and basically the same home with bigger lots and RV garages. I appreciate your
time in reviewing this information and the chance to appeal. I will be happy to provide my thoughts and
why I feel so strong about starting this process.

Subject: 2021 Real Property Protest — Reasons to appeal the Valuation.
To whom, after receiving this years evaluation of taxes. I feel our valuation is extremely high by
raising the amount of taxes by $59,506 compared to other home values currently within our subdivision
here in Johnstown. I do understand that values do go up over time but not at this current rate.
I researched over (30) properties within our subdivision of Corbett Glen( filing 3 and 4). All of the
homes researched were built by a specific developer and all basically have the same floorplans within
these filings. Almost all of them have large RV garages (which ours does not). The finished SQ footage
of these homes were within a hundred feet or so of each other. (ranging from 3,100 sq ft to 3,500 sq ft)
according to the public records. The Lot sizes vary as well, from the smallest (which ours is at 7,000 sq
ft) to the largest at 16,000 Sq ft. Almost all of these lots are taxed at the same rate of $83,500 with one
exception of $91,850.
I have attached some of my research and the comps so you can see why I'm asking for my tax base to
be lower in comparison to the other homes just like mine. By looking at all of the data, finished Sq
footage, Lot size and large RV garages which add value. My home has one of the smallest lots, no RV
garage and roughly the same finished sq footage of others. This is the reason I'm appealing the
evaluation. I don't see the reasons why I should be this high, and maybe by the comps we should be in
the 480K -485 K range.
Thank you for your consideration in looking at the data, hopefully this will help in your decision to re-
assess the adjust my evaluation and base.

Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of July 27, 2021, at or about the hour of 8:30
AM, to hold a hearing on your valuation for assessment. This hearing will be held at the Weld
County Administration Building, Assembly Room, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado.
You have a right to attend this hearing and present evidence in support of your petition. The Weld
County Assessor or his designee will be present. The Board will make its decision on the basis of
the record made at the aforementioned hearing, as well as your petition, so it would be in your
interest to have a representative present. If you plan to be represented by an agent or an attorney
at your hearing, prior to the hearing you shall provide, in writing to the Clerk to the Board's Office, an
authorization for the agent or attorney to represent you. If you do not choose to attend this hearing,
a decision will still be made by the Board by the close of business on August 5, 2021, and mailed to
you within five (5) business days.
Because of the volume of cases before the Board of Equalization, most cases shall be limited to 10
minutes. Also due to volume, cases cannot be rescheduled. It is imperative that you provide
evidence to support your position. This may include evidence that similar homes in your area are
valued less than yours or you are being assessed on improvements you do not have. Please note:
The fact that your valuation has increased cannot be your sole basis of appeal. Without

the Weld County Assessor's valuation of your property described above, for the year 2021.

$517,106 $500,000
A denial of a petition, in whole or in part, by the Board of Equalization must be appealed within thirty (30)
days of the date the denial is mailed to you. 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.
(II) The petitioner shall provide the information required by subsection (5)(a)(I) of this paragraph (a) within
ninety days after the appeal has been filed with the Board of Assessment Appeals.
(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.
Appeals to the Board of Assessment Appeals must be made on forms furnished by that Board, and must be
mailed or delivered within thirty (30) days of the date the denial by the Board of Equalization is mailed to
you.

Fees for Appeal to the Board of Assessment Appeals: A taxpayer representing himself is not charged for the
first two (2) appeals to the Board of Assessment Appeals. A taxpayer represented by an attorney or agent
must pay a fee of $101.25 per appeal.
OR
2. Appeal to District Court: You have the right to appeal the decision of the Board of Equalization to the
District Court of the county wherein your property is located: in this case that is Weld County District
Court. A hearing before The District Court 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 District Court is
further appealed to the Court of Appeals pursuant to C.R.S. §39-8-108(1), the rules of Colorado
appellate review and C.R.S. §24-4-106(9), govern the process.
OR
3. Binding Arbitration: You have the right to submit your case to binding arbitration. If you choose this
option, the arbitrator's decision is final and you have no further right to appeal your current
valuation. C.R.S. §39-8-108.5 governs this process. 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. For cases other than residential real property, the arbitrator's total fees
and expenses are agreed to by you and Board of Equalization, but are paid by the parties as
ordered by the arbitrator.

Very truly yours,
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
