Account # Decision The Assessment and valuation is set as follows: Actual Value as Actual Value as Set by Determined by Assessor Board R3188086 Stipulated - Approved Stipulated Value $291,096 $279,000 A denial of a petition, in whole or in part, by the Board of Equalization must be appealed within thirty (30) days of the date the denial is mailed to you. You must select only one of the following three (3) options for appeal: 1. Appeal to Board of Assessment Appeals: You have the right to appeal the County Board of Equalization's decision to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals. A hearing before that Board 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 (D) Rent roll data, including the name of any tenants, the address, unit, or suite number of the subject property, lease start and end dates, option terms, base rent, square footage leased, and vacant space for two full years including the base year for the relevant property tax year. (II) The petitioner shall provide the information required by subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (a) within ninety days after the appeal has been filed with the Board of Assessment Appeals. (b)(I) The Assessor, the County Board of Equalization, or the Board of County Commissioners of the County, as applicable, shall, upon request made by the petitioner, provide to a petitioner who has filed an 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. (II) The party providing the information to the petitioner pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (b) 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 disdosure 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.

The arbitrator's decision must be delivered personally or by registered mail within ten (10) days of the arbitration hearing. c.

Weld County Assessor's Office (97Q) 400-3650 PETITION TO WELD COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION n ail: weld-cboe@weidgov.com Date: 07/15/2019 Property Owner: Susan M. Henderson Subject Property: 1425 Glenrnere Blvd, Greeley, CO 80631 Account: R3188086 Introduction I received the 2019 Real Property Notice of Valuation informing me that the Subject Property would be assessed the "Current Year Actual Value" of S291,096. I appealed the valuation on 0512012019, requesting that the amount be revised to $275,000. That request was based on the sales price of the Subject Property. As the previous "Actual Value" (per the 2018 Real Property Notice of Valuation) was $224,735, I believed that that approximate 20% increase (to $275,000) to the assessed value was an equitable compromise. I received the following response: AL01-Your property has been uniformly valued following Colorado law.Your protest of value has been denied due to comparison of other similar properties which sold during the Jan 2017 to June 2018 time period. I am respectfully appealing to the Weld County Board of Equalization for reconsideration of that response. On the following pages, I provide comparable sales datain the Subject neighborhood for the assessment period 01/01/2017 through 06/30/2018. All comparables are, like the Subject Property, single family residences. Information provided by the attached GRID 1, GRID 2, and GRID 3 confirms that an assessment of $291,096 is unreasonable, not based on a "uniform" valuation, nor consistent with Colorado law. Therefore, I repeat my request that the assessment be lowered to $275,000. Evidence The first grid (GRID I on the following page) proves two (2) crucial factors that were not taken into account in the determination of the assessed value of my property: (1) I paid a premium for the Subject Property. I purchased it on 12/16/2015 for $275,000, significantly above fair market value. According to the 2015 Real Property Notice of Valuation, the Current Year Actual Value was $162,356. The reason for 60% above that amount (MUCH above fair market value) was that the house was NOT for sale; it was not on the market. I was the tenant and my offered purchase price reflected an amount sufficient to give the owner incentive to change her mind about selling. (2) My assessment is not based on a uniform appraisal, but rather is a mere mark-up of my actual, already bloated sales price. That is inconsistent with the requirements of C.R.S. §39- 1-103. In contrast to the Subject Property, all but one of the assessed values in GRID I are lower than the sales price. In other words, comparable properties were notsubject to a similar mark-up of their sales price.

Page 2 of 5 This second grid (GRID II, below) compares properties that have been assessed approximately the same amount as the Subject Property. They are, however, larger than the Subject and, thus, GRID II proves that they are not, in fact, "comparable" even though their assessed value is approximately the same as that of the Subject.

It is clear from the three grids presented that I, arguably, paid too much for my property. However, all I ask is that the sale of the SUBJECT PROPERTY itself be considered the true comparable that it is and that you refrain from inflating that amount by an additional $16,096 (6%) in assessing my property taxes.
