options for appeal:
1. Appeal to Board of Assessment Appeals: You have the right to appeal the County Board of

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

All appeals to the Board of Assessment Appeals filed after August 10, 2019, MUST comply with the
following provisions of C.R.S. §39-8-107(5):

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

Re: Real Property valuation appeal, R0273493-3459 W. 20th St., Greeley
Dear Honorable Assessor Dones:
Please be advised that this office represents Bank of Colorado in the protest and appeal of
valuation for the above -cited account number. Enclosed with this letter is the Agent
Authorzation and a spreadsheet of comparables to consider. Bank of Colorado presents several
comparables for your consideration regarding the valuation of this property.
Comparable 1, 2105 Clubhouse Drive, Greeley, is an office building located
approximately 20 blocks north of the subject property and sold on January 9, 2018. It is built
and utilized as an office building with a total improvement square footage of 9500. Price per
square foot at time of purchase is $86.00. This property is located in a desirable location with
mountain views and abutting the Highland Hills Golf Course.
Comparable 2 is a medical office building located two doors to the south of the subject
building. Its construction date 1993, comparable to the subject property, built in 1997.
Comparable 2 is a medical office building with an improvement square footage of 11,038. It is
similar in appearance and construction to the buildings in its proximity, including the subject
property. This property sold on November 1, 2017 for a price per square foot of 54.36.
Comparable 3 is a bank located at 920 54th Avenue, approximately 30 blocks to the
northwest of the subject property. This property was built in 1996, which is comparable to the
construction of the subject parcel. Comparable 3 is noted to have had 2 sale dates, January 19,
2017 for $750,000 and January 31, 2017 for $149,400. As it appears that these were fractional
interests in the whole, these sales should be combined for valuation purposes. This property is
the only bank sold in the window in time (1/1/2017-6/30/2018) in the City of Greeley. Its
improved square footage is smaller than the subject property and its location is farther west,
along 10th Street, factors making the location more favorable than the subject property. The
price per square foot, based on the combined sale dates is $66.48.
Based on the proximity and similarity to the subject property, Bank of Colorado requests
that Comparable 2 be considered primarily for the calculation of its assessed value, yielding a
final estimate of $1,274,796, based on $54.36 per square foot.

RE: THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION 2019, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
NOTIFICATION OF HEARING SCHEDULED
Docket 2019-3082, AS0103 Appeal 2008224770 Hearing 8/1/2019 1:30 PM
Account(s) Appealed:
R0273493
Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of August 1, 2019, at or about the hour of
1:30 PM, 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, 2019, 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
documented evidence as indicated above, the Board will have no choice but to deny your appeal.
If you wish to discuss your value with the Assessor's Office, please call them at (970) 400-3650. If
you wish to obtain the data supporting the Assessor's valuation of your property, please submit a
written request to assessor@weldgov.com. Upon receipt ofyourwritten request, the Assessor will
notify you of the estimated cost of providing such information. Payment must be made prior to the
Assessor providing such information, at which time the Assessor will make the data available within
three (3) working days, subject to any confidentiality requirements.
Please advise me if you decide not to keep your appointment as scheduled. If you need any
additional information, please call me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Esther E. Gesick
Clerk to the Board
Weld County Board of Commissioners
and Board of Equalization
