I understand that it was originally describe wrong as a 4 bed / 4 bath instead of the correct 3 bed / 2 1/2 bath. Brian Bishop came to the house on 5/16/2013 to verify this as well as the square footage. I have appealed the valuation on at least two occasions in the past and described the house; however, I was never previously informed that it was listed as a 4/4, nor were my assertions that it was a 3/2.1 ever questioned. I would like to appeal to fix this error back to when it first occurred, in 2003, but my understanding from Brian is I am only allowed to appeal 2012 at this point. If this is incorrect, please adjust retroactively to the extent allowed. I have also included 2011 adjustment request, should it turn out that 2011 is allowed to be adjusted as well. Throughout, the square footage has been listed as 2653 sq ft. When Brian did the re-appraisal, he measured the livable square footage as 2560 sq ft, a difference of 93 sq ft and confirmed the 3 bathrooms. He also adjusted the value from $345,172 to $320,000 for 2013 for market value and appraisal adjustment. Please retroactively adjust my taxes paid for the erroneous listing of 4/4. In determining value, I am making the following adjustments: Price/sq foot on record for 2011/2012: $307,668/2653 = $116/sq ft Correction of sq ft to 2560: $116*2560=$10,788 Correction of 4 to 3 bathrooms: $5,000 Total Correction: $10,788+$5,000=$15,788 Adjusted 2011/2012 value: $307,668-$15,788=$291,880 Thank ou, Adam Contos NOTICE OF DETERMINATION Christopher M.

ASSESSOR'S VALUATION ACTUAL VALUE PRIOR TO PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION ACTUAL VALUE AFTER; REVIEW REVIEW RESIDENTIAL 325,987 307,668 TOTAL $325,987 $307,668 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: AL02- The actual valuation of your property has been adjusted based on new information. This may be information you have supplied, corrections of characteristics or additional sales which we have uncovered during the appeals process. 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 real property appeals is July 15. 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. 00000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 g CD o ul 69 69 69 69 N 69 69 69 69 69 a 0 69 U. 69 69 69 69 69 0 a `c rn ° 0 I [O ao w co co a0 m r 69 69 N r N l0 69 N 0 S CO 69 N LL 0 C a 8 m a u occ WI E `) a` a` o z >.
