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.

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 www.downeylawpc.com Centennial, Colorado 80112 iW fax 303 813-1122 www. coloradopropertytaxattorney.com Ms. Brenda Dones Weld County Assessor May 31, 2019 Page 2 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. TED/js Enclosures cc: R.
