Box 758 Greeley, CO 80631 Notice of Valuation appeal Account#: R1499886 Address: 108 Walnut St.,Windsor, CO Owners: Harold and Ruth Schmidt Revocable Trust To Whom It May Concern: We would like to appeal the 2015 Notice of Determination indicating the above property to be valued at$149,183. The Assessor's Office has not provided any comparable sales or other proof of their valuation or why our initial appeal was rejected. This is analogous to going to court where the other party does not provide or disclose any evidence,but that party is also judge and jury. I should not have to show up at a hearing and see such evidence for the first time. I would again reiterate the following properties would suggest a lower valuation is in order. Address Price Square footage Bedrooms/bathrooms (Above ground/basement) 1. 116 Walnut $120,000 1536/ 0 3 /2 2. 720 Walnut $123,500 1188/504 2/ 1 3. 705 Walnut $130,000 1472/0 3 / 1 Subject property: 108 Walnut TBD 840/840 2/ 1 Each of the properties are comparable. The basement square footage is offset by the amount of above ground square footage of the homes without basements. The subject home is in original condition, i.e. with no upgrades since purchased 50+years ago. It has a"stucco"exterior. The basement is unfinished and not"livable." The average of the above comps is$125,500. The first comp is right next door to the subject property. Taking into account trending,but discounting for original condition,we believe the valuation of the property should be $129,750. Thanks f our consideration. Please call to discuss as needed.
