Woodruff Weld County Assessor 1400 N 17th Ave Greeley. CO 80631 Dear Mr. Woodruff: I have received a the notice of determination letter on my appeal of the valuation of my residence located at 933 N, 7th Street, Johnstown, Colorado 80534. The notice states that my appeal was denied due to comparison of "other similar properties" sold during the 2013/2014time frame. Below are two of the properties that I submitted as "similar" properties that sold during the required time period: 912 N 7th PI: Sold 02-2014 $265,000 5 Bedrooms and 3 Baths Main Level: 1632 Basement: 1592 Total Square Footage: 3224 712 Jay Ave: Sold 08-2013 $220,200 3 Bedrooms and 3 Baths Main Level: 1547 Basement: 1517 Total Square Footage: 3064 Were these properties used in your determination of my property valuation? If not, why weren't they? ErFIVF 1 .JUl . 1 5 2015 ELD C Olfi,: GRi%1JIY, O , A <—) I have provided 4 additional "similar" properties to be considered in my residence valuation: 862 Greeley: Sold 06-2013 $240,000 4 Bedrooms and 3 Baths Main Level: 1522 Basement: 1500 Total Square Footage: 3022 854 N 7th: Sold 08-2013 $281,500 5 Bedrooms and 3 Baths Main Level: 1563 Basement: 1537 Total Square Footage: 3100 919 N 7th Pl: Sold 01-2014 $310,200 4 Bedrooms and 4 Baths Main Level: 1427 Basement: 1377 Total Square Footage: 2800 1007 N 6 St: Sold 07-2013 $315,200 4 Bedrooms and 2 Baths Main Level: 2144 Basement: 2104 Total Square Footage: 4248 I disagree with your valuation of my residence for the prescribed time period. Your valuation is a 23% increase over the previous year's valuation and I believe this is not in line with the "similar" properties that I have provided. I believe that my property should be valued at $256,641. Any consideration to keep my residence valued at its' previous valuation of $256,641, will be greatly appreciated and fair.
