General Description and Market Summary
Subject Site and Improvements
The subject property is located at 18519 COUNTY ROAD 3 in Weld County. The legal description of the
property is 25864B S2NE4 31 4 68 EXC THAT PT N OF HIGH WATER LN OF LAKE (70A M/L) EXC U.
The Assessor has classified the structure as a Ranch 1 Story home of Fair quality construction. The
subject is a Frame Hardboard house constructed in 1963. It has 896 square feet of finished living area
above grade. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. The home has a 896 square foot basement with
392 square feet of finish. The outbuilings on the property are used as part of the dog training business.
Improvement 2 is a fair quality building, built in 1962, is 3,000 square feet, used as kennel house
for the Rodcy Mountain Training Kennel operation. The value of this building is $7,791.
Market Approach Summary
The subject property has been classified as Residential for assessment purposes. Residential property
value shall be determined solely by consideration of the Market Approach to Value {39-1-103(5)(a),
CRS}.
As required by 39-1-104(10.2), CRS, the market value is determined by utilizing data from the period of
one and one-half years immediately prior to June 30th, 2016. If sufficient comparable valuation data is
not available within the eighteen -month time period, the assessor shall use market data from the five
year period immediately prior to June 30th, 2016. When appropriate, all sales are to be time adjusted to
the appraisal date of June 30th, 2016.
Although the appraisal date is June 30, 2016, the physical characteristics are reflective of the property as
of January 1, 2017.
The comparable sales in this report were selected using county records and the Multiple Listing Services.
The Weld County Assessor's Office has verified that the comparable sales are arms -length transactions
based on review of the Real Property Transfer Declaration, telephone or personal confirmation
interviews and physical inspections to confirm property characteristics at the time of sale.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms
equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should
sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with
the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that
neither is under undue duress. {The Appraisal Institute}
The market value of the property as of June 30th, 2016 is:
Assessors Indicated Value
RESIDENTIAL $672,879
TOTAL: $672,879
Time Adjusted Sales Prices
By law, sales prices are time adjusted to the appraisal date of June 30, 2016. An adjustment
for time is made if during the sales collection period of January 2015 to June 30, 2016 the sale
prices of properties have appreciated or depreciated due to inflation or deflation. We refer to
the adjustment as a `time' adjustment, although it is market conditions that are changing over
time that creates the need for the adjustment. If market conditions have not changed, no
adjustment is required even though considerable time may have elapsed. {CRIS. 39-1-104
...said level of value shall be adjusted to the final day of the data -gathering period.)
Sales and resales of the same or similar properties are a good indication of the changes in
market conditions overtime. In addition, we run simple linear regression where we graph the
sales and the month the sale occurred to indicate the trend of the market. This trend is tracked
as a monthly rate of change. Since we consider one of the most important aspects of market
value to be location, we determine our time trends by location, also known as economic area or
neighborhood, and by the use of the property (vacant land, residential, commercial).
This neighborhood had 14 sales and indicates a time adjustment of 1.7995 % per month.

Property:
R4699786 - 18519 COUNTY ROAD 3 , WELD
Legal: 25864E S2NE4 31 4 68 EXC THAT PT N OF HIGH WATER LN OF LAKE (70A
MIL) EXC UPRR RES (1R)
Estimated Value: $380,000
Reason: The assessor I spoke with regarding this said my property had been adjusted for the
unusable wetlands, yet when I compare to other properties, this does NOT appear to be the
case. I currently have 2 clients wanting to buy my property, both laughed when I told them the
supposed "value". My client who is a bank vice president said he could never get anyone a
loan for this amount! the $672,879 is completely out of line. and if someone came out today
and had to breathe the air smelling of decaying pond muck (due to having no irrigation rights)
NO ONE would ever consider buying the property at any price. I tried to add the 2 mobile
homes to the protest but was unable to. I protested on the original appeal but received no
notification regarding those properties one way or the other.

Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of JULY 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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
