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.

(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 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.

If the decision of the District Court is further appealed to the Court of Appeals pursuant to C.R.S. §39-8-108(1), the rules of Colorado appellate review and C.R.S. §24-4-106(9), govern the process.

The arbitration process involves the following: a. Select an Arbitrator: You must notify the Board of Equalization that you will pursue arbitration.

If you cannot agree on an arbitrator, the District Court of the county in which the property is located (i.e. Weld) will select the arbitrator. b. Arbitration Hearing Procedure: Arbitration hearings are held within sixty (60) days from the date the arbitrator is selected, and are set by the arbitrator. Both you and the Board of Equalization are entitled to participate in the hearing. The hearing is informal. The arbitrator has the authority to issue subpoenas for witnesses, books, records documents and other evidence pertaining to the value of the property. The arbitrator also has the authority to administer oaths, and determine all questions of law and fact presented to him. The arbitration hearing may be confidential and closed to the public if you and the Board of Equalization agree. The arbitrator's decision must be delivered personally or by registered mail within ten (10) days of the arbitration hearing. c. Fees and Expenses: The arbitrator's fees and expenses are agreed upon by you and the Board of Equalization. In the case of residential real property, the fess may not exceed $150.00 per case. For cases other than residential real property, the arbitrator's total fees and expenses are agreed to by you and Board of Equalization, but are paid by the parties as ordered by the arbitrator.

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, 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.

While our property may seem to compare to the homes sold listed you need to peel back the onion to get the actual value. Our home was build as a entry level home to the area in 1996 and therefore it does not have the upgrades that the newer homes sold have or have had upgraded after being built. Items that our home does not have but higher end homes have that we are being compared to include the following: • Total number of square feet • Total number of finished square feet • Total number of bedrooms • Total number of bath rooms • Year built Upgrades NOT included in our home but in comparable homes • Granite Countertops • Tile Showers Tim Romshek * 344 N Shore Circle Windsor CO 80550 * 970-215-2580 " timromshek@msn.com • Solid Core Hardwood Doors • Hardwood Floors • Tile Floors Items installed but outdated • Golden Oak Trim • Golden Oak Cabinets • Original Carpet (21 years old) • Original Vinyl Flooring • Original Windows (at end of life expectancy) • Original Furnace (at end of life expectancy) • Redwood Deck (at end of life expectancy) • Garage Door Openers (at end of life expectancy) • Curtains & window coverings In addition the house is artificial stucco and the original builder incorrectly installed all the windows, doors etc not allowing for the recommended '/2" gap for sealing and needs to be replaced / repaired cost unknown as water may have gotten behind the openings therefore the cost could be substantial. I have been a Realtor since 2003 and know the market well and if someone would pay me $650,660.00 on January 1, 2019 I would accept such an offer without hesitation. I firmly believe my house should be valued at $545,000 for the reasons stated above.
