options for appeal:

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

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:
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 2015/2016 time
period.
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.

Mr. Christopher Woodruff
Weld County Assessor
Greeley, CO 80631
Dear Mr. Woodruff:
I am writing to you as we are quite upset over the increase in property tax for 6382 Twilight Ave,
Firestone CO 80504.
I am not sure you are aware of the house explosion that occurred back in April of 2017. Please see
pictures below. The value of the homes on Twilight Ave where the accident occurrent due to a flow line
that was not capped have significantly decreased.
We are stuck here in an area of soil infested with methane gas and the cleanup has not even started. We
see sites of this explosion every day. This has not been an incident that could easily be overlooked.
Every day we are reminded of the loss of life and property.
I cannot leave my home every day knowing if it will be there when I return. I have lost many days of
work due to worry and seeing nightmares of this explosion over and over in my head. I cannot invite
relatives to my home and cancelled plans for family to visit.
In my opinion, Anadarko has not taken the proper steps to make the community of Firestone feel safe.
We are in a precarious situation that will continue for a while. It is insulting that you even attempt to
have us pay more for taxes. IF anything, the county should be paying us to live here.
I would like to invite you over to view our home and the Twilight Ave situation so you can make an
informed decision about the value of our property.
I am also including copies of recently sold homes on Twilight before the accident occurred.
Thank you for your consideration.
