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
4So0911-
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:
PPO1 - Your personal property has been valued in accordance with Colorado law. Other personal
property, similar in nature, has been consistently valued using the same statutory methods.
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 personal property appeals is July 20.
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.

To Whom It May Concern:
Purpose:
The intended purpose of this appraisal report is to determine the Fair Market Value for Ad Valorem Taxation of
the tangible fixed assets located at the Subject Property.
Our analysis included discussions with company management and operating personnel. Additionally, we relied
on appraisers with past experience in the purchase and sale of retail assets and treatment of FF&E after a store
is closed in order to gain in-depth knowledge of Fair Market Value as it relates to retail operations.
Definition of Value:
According to the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) "Glossary for Property Appraisal and
Assessment" market value is defined as:
"The most probable price (in terms of money) which a property should bring in a competitive and open
market..."
Cost Approach Method:
The County has utilized the following cost approach coupled with mass appraisal techniques to value the Subject
Assets:
(Asset Cost by Year of Service) X (Present Value Factor) = (Fair Market Value)
Typical Present Value Factor tables are developed based on a mass appraisal approach and are geared toward
high output appraisal processes. Most assessor tables have broad categories such as "retail trade" or "FF&E"
that are applied generally to assets irrespective of the many different types of categories of FF&E typically found
in retail operations.
More importantly, the Mass Appraisal Method has limitations in measuring external factors that influence the
value of retail FF&E; such as, the online retail growth of e -commerce and its effects on brick and mortar stores.
For high output processes, Mass Appraisal is efficient; consequently, it doesn't account for industry specific
trends which should be taken into consideration when valuing the subject property.
For the above reasons, we have relied upon the Theory of Substitution using the Percent of Cost Sales
Comparison approach to derive the appropriate depreciation factors to be used in the cost approach for the
Subject Assets.
The Principle of Substitution:
The cost approach is based on the Principle of Substitution, defined in the IAAO's "Glossary for Property
Appraisal & Assessment" as:
"a potential owner will pay no more for a property than the amount for which a property of like utility
may be purchased."
This approach assumes that when competing assets of similar use are available; a prudent buyer would not pay
more for a property than the price of obtaining an acceptable substitute. In other words, the cost to replace an
asset with similar characteristics (age/condition) will be equal to its market value.
Sales Comparison Market Approach:
The Sales Comparison Market Approach is the best indicator of market value using the principle of substitution.
This approach produces a market value based on prices paid in actual market transactions and answers the
question: "What is the price of obtaining an acceptable substitute with similar characteristics as the Subject
Asset?"
For the Subject Property we relied upon the Sales Comparison Market Approach, utilizing the Percent of Cost
Sales Comparison Technique, which takes into consideration the actions of active marketplace buyers/sellers.
We have analyzed each asset by category and applied a Market Derived Depreciation Factor from over 2,500
sale comparables and 1,000+ appraisals performed by Landmapp Valuation and Asset Services, Inc
("Landmapp").
Percent of Cost Sales Comparison Technique:
In the American Society of Appraiser's book "Valuing Machinery and Equipment," (Ch. 4, Pg 98, Sales
Comparison Approach, Third Edition) the Percent of Cost - Sales Comparison - Technique is identified as one of
the most common techniques for establishing value.
"This technique establishes a ratio between the selling price and current cost new of a property at the time of
sale. Similar properties can be analyzed and relationships developed among age, selling price and cost" (ASA,
Third Edition).
For example, an appraiser is valuing 'shelving' used in a retail operation and market research identifies that
selling prices of multiple 'shelving' assets with similar age and condition are trading for 50% of current cost new.
Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the subject's `shelving' asset would have a similar relationship to the
actions of buyers/sellers in the market and experience the same 50% depreciation.
Utilizing the Percent of Cost Sales Comparison Technique:
Landmapp maintains market data which is updated on a continuous basis by their research department.
Information is compiled from internet firms which buy and sell equipment, price guide books, trade publications,
new and used equipment dealers, etc.
The following market -based depreciation tables are more specific to each asset's category and are a more
appropriate measure for valuing assets. The market -based tables also take into consideration external factors,
such as the extremely competitive online retail e -commerce. Hence, the below tables will produce a far more
precise market value for the Subject Assets as opposed to the mass appraisal method.
See Next Page for Tables

Conclusion:
Attached to this report is our estimate of market value for Ad Valorem Taxation and additional evidence used to
derive the above depreciation tables. We are requesting that the County utilize the above referenced market -
derived depreciation table to arrive at true Fair Market Value for all of the tangible assets of the Subject
Property.

RE: THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION 2016, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
NOTIFICATION OF HEARING SCHEDULED
Docket #: 2016-2440, AS0094 Appeal #: 2008211243 Hearing Date: 8/4/2016 10:00 AM
Account(s) Appealed:
P3109806
Dear Petitioner(s):
The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of AUGUST 4, 2016, at or about the
hour of 10:00 AM, 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, 2016, 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
Esther E. Gesick
Clerk to the Board
Weld County Board of County Commissioners
cc: Christopher Woodruff, Assessor
