Box 445 3005 W. 29`h Street, Suite G1 Greeley, CO 80632 Greeley, CO 80631 (970) 353-6121 (970) 353-9703 (fax) ditchoffice@qwestoffice.net July 20, 2019 Weld County Board of Equalization 1150 O Street Greeley, CO 80631 Re: Account P9103681 Gentlemen: Greeley Irrigation Company received a Notice of Determination dated July 10, 2019, from your office which provides an assessed valuation of personal property used at the GIC Ditch Office. We believe the Notice of Determination mistakenly classifies personal property owned by Greeley Irrigation Company as taxable. Greeley Irrigation Company is a mutual ditch company organized and existing under the Colorado mutual ditch company statutes for the purpose of providing water to the Company's shareholders for irrigation. The personal property assessed is used exclusively for and in connection with the Company's ditch system. C.R.S. § 39-3-104 provides: Ditches, canals, and flumes which are owned and used by any person exclusively for irrigating land owned by such person shall be exempt from the levy and collection of property tax. GIC relied on this statute in 2015 and again in 2019 when it successfully protested the County's assessment to GIC of real property taxes. Under this statute, GIC is exempt from the collection of both real and personal property taxes. As provided by Colorado law, property taxes include both real property taxes and personal property taxes. See, e.g., C.R.S. 39-3-109 ("Property, real and personal"). Because C.R.S. § 39-3-104 does not limit the statutory exemption to real property taxation, as a mutual ditch company GIC is exempt from the assessment of personal property taxes and real property taxes. Greeley Irrigation Company therefore believes that the property in question should be exempt from taxation under the provisions the Colorado statutes, including C.R.S. § 39-3-104 because of the blanket exemption of ditches, canals, and flumes used for irrigation. The statute does not single out one type of property tax, personal property or real property, and therefore the personal property should also be exempt.
