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.

following provisions of C.R.S. §39-8-107(5):
(5)(a)(I) On and after August 10, 2019, in addition to any other requirements under law, any petitioner

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;

appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals not more than ninety days after receipt of the petitioner's
request, the following information:
(A) All of the underlying data used by the county in calculating the value of the subject property that is being
appealed, including the capitalization rate for such property; and
(B) The names of any commercially available and copyrighted publications used in calculating the value of

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.

Reason: Value Too High - We want to request a review because we feel our property value is greatly
affected by the ugly DCP Gas Plant and PDC Oil Facility right behind our house and event center,
that the County approved and no neighbors knew it was going to be built until it was already under
construction. We believe this has affected our event center business and will impact the future of our
Bed & Breakfast that is currently under construction. How can our "Commercial
Value" go up $502,671 when our B&B is not even completed or inhabitable? We
don't even have a certificate of occupancy on it yet. We definitely didn't make
$502,671 of improvements to our existing event center building. Also, we did not make
improvements to our personal residence to make our "Residential Value" go up
$250,906. Land hasn't even gone up that much. We don't understand how we paid
$1738.16 in 2017, $2798.72 in 2018, jumped to $4370.34 in 2019 and now we are estimated to pay
over $11,000 in 2020. That's almost a third of the income we make off our event center
currently. We can't afford that. The only reason we have what we have is because we built
everything on our property with our own two hands. Now the County is raising our property taxes
so high that we won't be able to afford to stay here. We also don't believe there are any
real comparable comps to our property in this area and numbers just seem to be pulled out of a hat.
We have a unique property. If it were along the I-25 Corridor, it could be worth a lot more. Who
would want to buy our property now with huge gas/oil facilities all around us. 20 years ago when we
bought our property, we were in the middle of nowhere. Now we feel like we are in the middle of an
industrial park. Every view from our house and our under construction B&B have views of
these ugly gas and oil facilities, not to mention the noise they generate. We now have to live with
this for the rest of our lives and it's because the County made the decision to let them build in
our backyard and we had absolutely no say so.

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:
AL02 - The actual valuation of your property has been adjusted based on new information. This may
be information you have supplied. corrections of characteristics or additional sales.
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,

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.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are requesting a review because we feel the estimated increase in our assessed value for our property is not
consistent with the small amount of revenue we generate from our commercial property and we feel like our property
value in general has been decreased due to the large DCP/PDC gas/oil facilities directly behind our property.
As my husband is nearing retirement (he is 64 presently), we had come up with the idea to turn an existing outbuilding
into an event center in 2012-13. We were officially open for business in the spring of 2014. Our plan was to have our
business loans paid off by the time he retires at age 66 so we could begin making a profit and supplement his retirement
income. Other than 7 years that he taught in the public school system, he has been self-employed. Neither of us have
had jobs where we could pay into 401K's for even have extra income to put into investment savings. His estimated
retirement income from both PERA and Social Security will be around $1500/month. We cannot live on that. We just
wanted to have enough events every year to help us pay our basic needs. We have no desire to have events 5 days a
week or even every weekend. We simply are trying to use existing assets (our existing buildings) to help us in our
retirement years. Since we do everything ourselves, it has been a work in progress. Business was promising the first few
years as we were getting more referrals. Since this time, DCP and PDC have both built large gas/oil facilities directly to
the northwest of our property. We have seen the amount of bookings go down significantly. We had around 20
bookings the past couple of years. This year, we are down to 10. We have only increased our pricing by $200 from
$2800 to $3000 on our wedding package. We know other venues charge 2-4 times this amount, so we know our pricing
is not the reason for the decrease. We strongly feel like the oil/gas plants behind our property is the major factor. I still
get lots of calls and give lots of tours. But once they come to see it and see and hear the noise from DCP/PDC, we don't
hear back from them.
When we first moved onto our property 19 years ago, we lived in a 5th wheel camper for 7 1/2 years that was temporarily
attached to an existing little structure that was part of our original living space while we ourselves built our home and
outbuilding that is now our event center. When we decided to convert the one building into the event center, we
decided to add onto the little structure to make a B&B or use it in connection with the event center for the wedding
party to stay at before/after weddings. This project is still under construction. It is currently uninhabitable. We are not
generating any income from it at all. Again, we only want to generate enough income to live comfortably in our
retirement years. We do not want people living on our property 24/7.
Because the event center and B&B are zoned commercial, we feel like our taxes should be based on the income they
generate and not the total value of the structure itself. We only have the cost of materials in all our structures. We did
not hire construction companies to do our building. If we were not having events, our outbuilding would just be an
empty outbuilding.
I've attached pictures of the gas/oil plants from our residence and commercial property. I've also included estimates of
my husband's estimated retirement income as well as what our gross income was from the event center from 2015-
2018. Our estimated gross for 2019 is $25,000.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

however, you would give up 60 months of benefits including past annual increases.
You may instead choose to be paid retroactive to age 60. Please see the enclosed estimate for
details on this benefit.

refund amount may be reduced.

RE: THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION 2019, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
NOTIFICATION OF HEARING SCHEDULED
Docket 2019-2548, AS0103 Appeal 2008224299 Hearing 7/30/2019 3:00 PM
Account(s) Appealed:
R8955583
Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of July 30, 2019, at or about the hour of 3:00
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 of your written 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
