REVIEW PROGRAM:
County Assessor: Christopher Woodruff
Mr. Woodruff gave an overview of the Assessor's functions within the County. He reviewed the
methods of valuation and assessment rates for the 2015-2016. He also reviewed current value
and revenue statistics, such as growth in value since 2005, Weld County assessed value for
2015, beneficiaries of the property tax and forecasts for value for 2016. Mr. Woodruff pointed
out some valuation issues for 2016. Some of these issues are Oil and Gas values dropping,
intervening year values remaining the same, except for new construction, and the protest of
valuations. The upcoming valuation issues for 2017 include the reappraisal of all property in
2017, due to market value changes, continued decline in Oil and Gas, and the possible impacts
on the residential assessment rate, which may affect the Gallagher Amendment, and new
construction. Mr. Woodruff provided the Council with a copy of the 2015 Weld County Abstract
of Assessment produced by his office.
