A denial of a petition, in whole or in part, by the Board of Equalization must be appealed within thirty (30)

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

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, 2019, MUST comply with the
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
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

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
the subject property.

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

administer oaths, and determine all questions of law and fact presented to him. The

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:
CM05 - The law requires that data from Jan 2017 to June 2018 be used to establish current values.
We have considered all three approaches to value and we have denied your appeal based upon this
data.
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.

Schedule Number: 096106200002
Dear Ms. Dones,
Thomas E. Downey, Jr.
303 813-1111
tom@downeylawpc.com
We represent the owner of the above captioned property, and are tendering this
correspondence on its behalf. This letter shall serve as a formal written protest of the real
property notice of valuation for the above captioned property for the 2019 tax year.
We believe that the value of the subject property, based upon information currently
available and subject to further revision, is excessive and should be reduced to a value of
$3,149,280 in accordance with Colorado law. In support of this valuation, please see the
following enclosed documents:
• Addendum 7-B, Gov't Assisted Housing Questionnaire
• Subject Property EDMA Worksheet
The subject is rented to low-income tenants and is operated in a manner necessary to
qualify for federal Low -Income Housing Tax Credits established by Section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Each unit at the subject has qualified for and is allocated low-income housing
credits pursuant to Section 42. The steps for valuing a rent -restricted property are set forth in the
Colorado Real Property Valuation Manual, Section 7.7. See ALR VOL 3, § 7.7 ("[v]aluation of
taxable rent -restricted housing properties that receive below -market rents should reflect an
economically derived market adjustment (EDMA) due to the reduced revenue stream.").
Pursuant to the ARL, the market value of the property, assuming no restrictions, is first
determined. For purposes of this analysis only, we assume the $5,248,800 value currently
assigned to the property is its base market value. The ARL next directs assessors to compute an
EDMA adjustment using actual contract rent amounts and apply that to the base value. The
actual contract rents for 50 units of the subject property as of June 30, 2018 are set forth in the
6855 South Havana Street Suite 600

enclosed Addendum 7-B. All 50 units are rent -restricted. Using the rental rates provided by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for Weld County in 2018 as fair
market value, the EDMA for the subject property is 0.60 (a market adjustment of 40.0 percent).
Applying the EDMA to the base value of $5,248,800 results in an adjusted actual market value
of $3,149,280/$69,986/unit. Accordingly, the current assigned value does not reflect the actual
market value of the property, and upon consideration of the requirements of Colorado law that
require that assessments be uniform, just and equalized, a reduction in the current year actual
value of this property is warranted.
Pursuant to C.R.S. § 39-5-121.5, the taxpayer respectfully requests that the Assessor
provide its undersigned legal representative with the data utilized by the Assessor to establish the
2019 value for the Subject Property within seven working days after receipt of this request.
Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss this property further.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
Thomas E. Downey, Jr.
