petition for appeal of the Weld County Assessor's valuation of your property described above, for the year

The Assessment and valuation is set as follows:
Actual Value as Actual Value as Set by

$410,134 $400,000
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. Section 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, 2016, MUST comply with the
following provisions of C.R.S. Section 39-8-107(5):
(5)(a)(I) On and after August 10, 2011, 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 section 39-8-108(1) or a denial of an abatement of taxes pursuant to section 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 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
you.

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.

Property:
R2323703-,
Legal:
Estimated Value: $ 350000
Reason: We purchased the house for $412,000 in December, 2017. Clearly, a year and a half earlier it would be worth
significantly less given the rise in property values over time in Colorado. Additionally, comparable properties in our
neighborhood (including our next door neighbor's house) sold for $270k -$380k during the applicable time frame. Our
home has no landscaping in the backyard and no fence.

COMPARABLE PROPERTY SALES
Our Property: — 3554 Square Feet, no
landscaping in backyard, no fence, unfinished basement. Back in 2016 and before,
properties in this area were selling around the $300k mark. Taking into account
the size of our lot and house, I estimated our value as of that date at higher than
average but nowhere near the current valuation. The current valuation does not
seem to take into account the values of the homes at the applicable time period.
1. 9104 18th Street 3755 square feet sold for $360k on 6/2/16 built by
same builder and has pretty much the same finishes as our house but slightly
bigger and unknown whether it had backyard landscaping and/or fence at
time of sale.
2. 1820 90th Avenue (our next door neighbors built by same builders) - 3122
square feet, sold 7/17/17 for $349k
3. 1821 90th Avenue (across the street neighbors same builders) - 3653
square feet sold 5/16/17 for 368K
4. 1804 90th Avenue (down the street) — 1588 square feet — sold for $339k on
5/16/16
5. 9101 19th Street Road — 1842 square feet — sold for $367k on 4/14/16
6. 1916 90th Avenue — 3430 square feet — sold for $345k on 6/20/14
7. 1912 90th Avenue — 2472 square feet — sold for $329k on 8/14/14
8. 9115 18th Street — 2645 square feet — sold for $382k on 11/06/16
9. 1813 88th Avenue Court — 3114 square feet — sold for $299k on 04/28/17
10.1715 88th Avenue Court — 2700 square feet — sold for $270k on 09/07/16

RE: THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION 2018, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
NOTIFICATION OF HEARING SCHEDULED
Docket #: 2018-2244, AS0097 Appeal #: 2008217938 Hearing Date: 7/31/2018 3:00 PM
Account(s) Appealed:
R2323703
Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of July 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 obtain the data supporting the Assessor's valuation of your property, please
submit a written request directly to the Assessor's Office by fax (970) 304-6433, or if you
have questions, call (970) 353-3845. 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
