A
A
B
A
C
A
Right
so
we'll
get
that
started,
we'll
have
a
few
more
people
come
on.
We
just
got
a
few
preliminaries.
My
name
is
Ben
Edelstein
I'm,
the
co-chair
of
Martial
Rock,
we're
very
pleased
to
partner
with
Boulder
County
the
recovery
office
and
Cindy
Braddock
from
the
county
assessor's
office
to
provide
information
for
Marshall
fire
affected
families.
Martial
rock
is
the
long-term
Recovery
Group.
A
We
have
the
Recovery
Center
on
McCaslin
and
we've
been
very
honored
to
host
the
recovery
navigation
program
and
we're
really
here
to
help
in
any
way
we
can
with
the
recovery.
We
are
a
coalition
of
many
different
organizations
that
work
across
boundaries
to
get
as
much
help
as
possible
to
the
affected
community
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Katie
Arrington
for
Boulder
County.
C
C
C
C
Cindy
our
presenter
tonight
we'll
be
talking
a
little
bit
slower
than
she
might
normally
in
order
for
the
interpreters
to
interpret
effectively
the
other
question,
the
other
kind
of
parameters
tonight
about
questions
and
questions
and
answers.
We
got
about
150
questions
free
given
to
us
when
you
registered
and
I've
sorted
through
those
questions,
and
they
were
about
20
unique
questions
in
that
set.
C
So
we're
going
to
ask
Cindy
those
questions
first
and
then
we
will
start
addressing
questions
in
the
chat
I'm,
not
in
the
chat
in
the
Q
a
so
if
you
have
a
question
that
was
not
answered
when
we
do
the
question
and
answer
period
or
during
the
presentation,
please
put
it
in
the
Q
a
section
on
your
screen
and
we'll
make
sure
it
gets
answered.
We
will
do
our
best
to
get
it
answered
during
the
time
we
have
allotted.
C
We
are
going
to
end
promptly
at
7
30,
because
questions
I
think
questions
could
probably
go
on
for
this
topic
forever.
So
we
are
going
to
end
promptly
at
7
30,
but
the
assessor's
office
is
here
and
committed
to
helping
answer.
Further
questions
and
follow-up
can
happen
with
them
and
Cindy's
going
to
let
you
know
how
that
happens.
C
The
last
part
of
the
question
and
answer
kind
of
parameters
is:
we
are
not
going
to
be
answering
any
questions
related
to
specific
property.
So
if
you
put
a
question
in
ahead
of
time
with
your
registration
form
about
your
specific
property,
that's
not
going
to
be
answered
on
this
call.
Today,
you
will
need
to
follow
up
directly
with
the
assessor's
office
and
if
you
ask
a
question
specifically
about
your
property
in
the
question
and
answer
section
of
the
zoom
call,
we
are
also
not
going
to
answer
that
today.
Interpretation
has
now
been
started.
C
If
you
look
at
the
bottom,
there's
a
globe
says
interpretation
and
you
can
choose
English
or
Spanish,
and
if
you
choose
the
Spanish
Channel,
everything
that
Cindy
is
saying
in
English
will
be
live
interpreted
in
Spanish.
So
Spanish
is
your
preferred
language
or
your
primary
language.
Please
choose
that.
C
C
B
Thank
you,
Katie
and
thank
you
Ben
and
I
also
add
my
thanks
to
Ben
and
Katie
for
or
Ben
for
doing
the
technology
for
Marshall
Rock
for
hosting
this
I
also
want
to
thank
the
community
members
who
reached
out
to
me
who
suggested
that
this
would
be
a
really
great
thing
to
offer
to
the
community,
so
I
appreciate
them
reaching
out
and
I
hope.
I
hope
that
we
can
answer
some
questions
for
you
tonight,
I'm
going
to
speak
slowly
so
that
we
can
be
interpreted
and
what
I?
B
B
B
If
there's
not
enough
staff,
there
I'll
get
more
staff
there
and
that'll
be
an
opportunity
for
you
to
speak
in
person
with
my
staff
to
file
an
appeal.
If
you
choose
to
to
get
more
questions
answered,
so
please
take
advantage
of
that.
So
I'm
going
to
step
through
several
things.
The
first
thing
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is,
is
the
assessment
process
in
general
to
help
answer
some
questions
about.
How
did
we
arrive
at
these
values
that
you
saw
on
your
notice?
Evaluation
and
then
I'll
step
into
what
you
can
do
about
those
values.
B
Thank
you,
so
much
I
had
switch
monitors,
so
I
lost
track
of
one
button
so
anyway,
I'm
going
to
walk
through
these
side,
slides
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
assessment
process
in
general.
How
we
arrive
at
Value
talk
about
appeals.
How
do
you
appeal?
Why
do
you
appeal?
Where
do
you
appeal
all
of
that
and
then
a
little
bit
about
the
senior
exemption?
We
did
have
a
question
about
the
exemptions
that
are
available
to
older
adults
and
then
we'll
get
into
questions
so.
Firstly,
the
assessor
is
required.
B
We're
constitutionally
required
to
establish
values
for
Taxation
and
we're
required
to
I.
This
is
very
broad
to
discover
list,
classify
and
value
properties,
and
all
of
our
work
is
audited
yearly.
So
there
is
an
independent
auditor
that
the
state
of
Colorado
hires,
they
audit,
all
the
assessors
in
the
state
of
Colorado
and
we're
audited
on
statistical
and
procedural
compliance,
so
we're
very
motivated
to
do
the
best
job
we
can,
because
there
is
a
downside
to
failing
an
audit
and
Boulder
County
has
never
failed
an
audit.
B
So
just
really
briefly,
Discovery
is
all
about
learning
about
properties.
We
we
use
public
records,
so
the
assessor's
office
is
limited
to
what's
available
publicly.
We
cannot
enter
your
property
without
your
permission,
and
so
what
we
know
is
what's
available
to
us.
If
you
share
it
with
us
or
if
it's
if
it's
on
a
deed,
so
we
see
sales
documents,
we
see
things
in
the
multiple
listing
services.
We
have
access
to
building
permits
to
see
what
changes
are
happening
in
properties.
B
We
watch
the
news
for
articles
for
things
that
might
be
happening
in
communities
that
help
us
understand
the
properties
in
our
County.
The
list
component
is
really
about
the
really
big
database
that
we
have
and
we
keep.
We
have
the
in
the
county,
the
most
comprehensive
database
of
information
about
properties,
it's
essential
to
the
work
that
we
do
so
everything
we
discover
we
we
put
in
and
we
list
in
our
system
we're
required
to
classify
property.
So
what
do
we
mean
by
classified
we
classify
as
used.
B
B
So
we
do
this
over
statutorily
defined
calendar,
so
everything
we
do
the
assessor
does
is
defined
in
the
Constitution
and
the
state,
statutes
and
guidance
for
us
is
written
by
the
division
of
property
taxation.
So
we
have
this
framework
that
we
work
in.
It
allows
us
to
use
standard
practices
and
treat
properties
in
similar
in
similar
ways.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
we're
required
to
do
is
work
within
a
two-year
cycle.
B
We
work
with
data
that
we
collect
that
we're
seeing
in
the
rearview
mirror.
So
the
data
collection
that
we
use
for
arriving
at
property
values
is
from
July
1
2020
to
June
30th
2022..
So
that's
the
data
set
when
we
talk
about
the
base
year
sales,
when
we
talk
about
the
sales
that
can
be
used
for
comparables
for
reviewing
your
value,
they
come
from
this
data
collection
period.
So
that's
an
important
period
to
remember.
B
We
collect
all
the
sales
from
this
period
and
we
review
them
and
we
make
sure
that
their
arms
length
transactions
between
a
a
willing
buyer
and
a
willing,
willing
and
knowledgeable
seller
that
they're
on
the
open
market
and
so
that
we
can.
We
can
use
them
as
examples
or
to
build
our
models
with.
There
are
two
dates
that
are
really
important:
the
appraisal
date,
which
is
June
30th
of
even
number
of
years
and
you'll,
see
that
in
the
data
collection
period,
so
June
30th
2022
was
our
is
our
appraisal
date
for
this
reappraisal.
B
We
have
an
assessment
date
and
that
is
January
1
of
every
year.
So
every
year
on,
January
1
were
required
to
look
at
properties
at
in
and
Define
their
or
identify
their
condition
and
their
classification.
So
if
something
changes
say
a
home
becomes,
it
starts
to
be
used
as
a
business
and
solely
as
a
business.
B
We
spend
the
summer
reviewing
all
the
appeals
that
we
get
and
then
on
notice.
We
should
not
know
this
is
a
determination
in
August.
So
this
is
the
calendar
we
work
with
and
we'll
refer
back
to
this
in
future
slides
as
we
talk
more
deeply
about
how
properties
are
are
handled,
so
here
again
is
an
overview.
So
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
looking
at
sales
and
confirming
sales
for
our
modeling
process.
B
We're
looking
at
we
do
a
lot
of
data
exploration,
so,
what's
going
on
with
these
sales,
what's
going
on
with
the
properties
that
didn't
sale
sell,
so
what
what
sort
of
things
are
we
seeing
in
the
community
that
might
be
impacting
value?
What
sort
of
things
are
we
seeing
on
homes
that
might
impact
value?
We
identify
property
adjustments
and
what
we
mean
by
property
adjustments
are
things
like:
what's
the
impact
of
a
busy
road
on
property
value?
B
What's
the
impact
of
having
an
amazing
view
out
of
your
house
to
the
Front
Range,
what
what
impact
would
be
on
open
space
have?
What
impact
is
the
do
a
variety
of
characteristics
that
we
might
collect?
About
Properties?
So
we
recognize
all
of
these
and
put
them
in
we
list
these.
This
is
part
of
the
listing
procedure,
and
then
we
go
into
setting
new
values,
and
this
is
done
through
Mass
appraisal
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that
and
it
takes
about
eight
months
of
work
for
us
to
arrive
at
values.
B
This
is
not
a
system
where
we
plug
in
something
and
a
value
can
is
out
the
inside.
This
is
a
process
of
testing
and
reviewing
for
eight
months
to
arrive
with
the
values,
and
then
we
analyze
the
value.
So
this
is
the
reiteration.
How
did
it
does
it?
Look
we
test
it
against
our
appraisers
who
know
the
areas.
Is
this
making
sense,
and
then
we
reiterate
as
as
needed,
to
arrive
at
our
values.
B
So
this
is
the
top
here.
The
mass
appraisal
is
what
we
are
required
to
do,
so
the
statutes
say
that
we
must
value
all
the
properties
in
Boulder
County
at
the
same
time
and
deliver
a
value
on
May
1st.
So
this
is
different
than
a
fee
appraisal
where
you're
talking
about
one
property,
where
we're
delivering
a
value
on
a
set
date.
This
is
looking
at
the
entire
County
at
the
same
time
and
our
staff,
all
of
our
appraisers,
are
licensed
appraisers
and
they're,
held
to
an
ethics
standard
and
use
path.
B
B
So
we
create
statistical
models,
we
take
all
the
sales
that
we
collect
and
we
confirm
and
we
qualify
to
make
sure
that
their
arms
length
sales
and
these
are
put
through
our
models
and
what
we're
doing
is
collecting
attributes
characteristics
of
the
property,
everything
from
location,
land,
Building
characteristics
and
the
model
tells
us
what
contributory
value
the
characteristics
have.
So
the
first
run
through
the
model
is
working
with
the
sales
that
we
collected
and
qualified.
So
it's
looking
at
this
set
in
residential.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
sales
generally,
it's
around
10,
000
sales
that
we
review
and
put
through
the
model,
and
we
test
these
the
characteristics
to
see
what
contributes
to
the
bottom,
the
value
of
an
of
a
home.
So
what
do
bedrooms
contribute?
What
is
living
square
footage
contribute
and
all
you
know
all
these
characteristics
once
we
know
what
those
characteristics
contribute
to
Value.
We
then
take
that
model
and
apply
it
across
all
the
properties
in
the
county.
B
We
are
only
allowed
to
look
at
the
market,
and
this
is
not
as
I
mentioned,
it's
not
a
simple
algorithm.
This
isn't
something
it's
not
AI,
where
we
plug
in
something
that
outcomes
an
answer.
On
the
other
side.
This
is
a
very
step-by-step
iterative
process
process
that
helps
us
arrive
at
property
values.
B
B
So
one
thing
we
have
to
do
with
our
sales,
and
this
is
the
sold
population
that
we
collect
in
that
base
year
period
from
July
1st
2020
through
June
30th
2022
is
time
trending
and
so
time.
Trending
is
basically
basically
an
analysis
of
change
over
time
on
those
sales
and
we
apply
this
mathematics
to
these
sales
so
that
they
all
look
as
if
they
took
place
on
June
30th
of
2022
or
June
30th,
of
whatever
data
collection
period
we're
working
with
and
it's
required
by
law.
We
get
audited
on
our
time
Trends.
B
It
can
show
us
increase
or
decrease
over
time
over
this
24-month
period
that
we
have
data
for,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
get
all
the
sales
to
the
end
of
our
data
collection
period,
so
that
we're
really
looking
at
a
common
things
in
a
common
way.
So
we're
looking
at
them
as
if
they
all
sold
at
the
same
time
and
that's
what
time
trending
sort
of
at
high
level.
That's
what
time?
Trending
allows
us
to
do
so
for
the
Marshall
fire
properties,
in
specifically
so
on.
B
January,
1,
2022
and
I
have
another
slide
that
will
cover
this
as
well.
We
went
in
the
field
and
recognized
that
the
properties
that
had
destroyed
homes
were
highly
damaged,
and
so
we
removed
half
the
value,
so
they
went
to
50
value
and
we
have
a
cost
build-up
formula
that
we
used
to
arrive
at
that
on
January
1
of
2023
properties.
B
As
far
as
we
know
on
the
best
information
we
have
have
been
remediated,
so
the
basement's
removed
the
soil
cleaned
up
and
tested,
and
so
we
were
faced
with
a
reappraisal
year
and
properties
at
full
value,
so
to
arrive
at
the
values
of
the
of
the
land
of
for
the
properties
that
were
destroyed
by
the
fire.
We
used
a
process
called
the
extraction
method,
and
this
is
a
recognized
method
for
Mass
appraisal.
B
So
what
we
did
is
we
took
your
property
as
it
stood
in
2021
before
the
fire,
the
land
and
the
building
as
one
the
total
value.
We
ran
that
value
through
our
model
and
it
told
us
what
were
all
the
contributory
that
characteristics
are
back
pieces
to
the
value
of
that
property.
We
then
pulled
out
all
of
the
characteristics
all
of
the
value
that
was
it
attributed
to
the
home
that
you
had
before,
and
that
left
us
with
the
land
value
and
that's
what
the
extraction
method
does
is.
B
B
So
we
had
to
have
a
way
to
look
at
these
because
they're
so
unique,
and
this
method
allows
us
to
do
that.
So
it
allowed
us
to
model
the
value
because
we're
required
to
in
this
year
we're
required
to
model
all
property
values
and
arrive
at
a
new,
a
new
value,
but
it
allowed
us
to
look
at
what
the
land
would
be
worth
by
valuing
the
whole
thing
and
pulling
the
Improvement
back
off.
So
it
is
not
a
perfect
method.
There
are
things
we
don't
know
about
your
properties
and
that's
why
we
have
Appeals.
B
If
you
had
a
home
that
was
damaged
by
such
Char
Ash
and
odor,
we
did
a
damage
assessment
assessment
adjustment.
Excuse
me
based
on
the
best
information
we
had
and
most
homes
there
was
about
7
500
homes
that
received
a
3
to
13
percent
adjustment
on
their
value,
to
allow
Property
Owners
to
remediate
damage
that
was
done
so
in
2023
on
January
1.
B
We
recognized
that
from
what
we
understood,
the
the
destroyed
properties
had
the
land
remediated,
so
they
became
100
value
again
and
then
we
had
to
reapproach
them
and
we
used
the
extraction
method
for
the
damaged
properties,
switch,
Char,
Ash
and
odor.
We
removed
the
adjustment
revalued
them
and
they
came
back
to
their
two.
They
came
to
the
2023
value,
so
we
know
that
there
are
properties
that
still
have
damages
that
are
not
remediated.
We
would
love
to
hear
from
you
based
on
what
we
we
know.
B
We
we
hope
we've
caught
every
property
but
I'm
sure
we
haven't
so
please
let
us
know
about
that.
So
we
we
have
moved
all
these
damaged
properties
to
100
value
treated
them,
like
all
other
properties
in
the
county
value
them
the
same
way
that
others
were
valued
and
would
love
to
hear
if
that
is
not
appropriate
for
your
property.
B
So
this
slide
now
I'm
moving
into
the
appeals
process,
so
I,
just
a
couple
things
about
appeals,
appeals
will
cost
you
absolutely
no
money.
You
can.
You
can
file
your
appeal
as
free
of
cost.
It
is
something
we
can
help
you
with
I
have
staff
on
the
phones,
I
have
staff
in
the
office.
We
answer
our
emails
assessor
at
bouldercounty.org.
B
So
then
we
start
in
on
May
1.
You
get
your
notice,
so
this
chart
walks
you
through
the
appeals
process
and
all
the
dates
so
May
1
we
sent
out
and
actually
we
sent
them
out
on
April,
28th
and
also
I
noticed
in
some
of
the
questions
that
some
of
you
did
not
receive
your
notice.
If
you
did
not
receive
your
notice,
please
call
our
office.
Please
email
us
we'll
be
happy
to
get
that
to
you
immediately.
B
We
missed
some
address
changes,
and
so
we
may
not
have
gotten
something
to
you.
So
please
please
reach
out.
We
want
to
get
that
to
you.
So
on
April,
28th,
legally
May
1,
we
sent
out
notices.
You
have
until
June
8th
to
file
your
appeal
and
it's
end
of
day,
June
8th,
if
you
are
doing
it
electronically,
otherwise,
postmarked
on
Gmail,
we
spend
the
summer
reviewing
all
the
appeals
that
come
in
and
then
on,
August
15th.
B
We
require
we're
required
to
send
you
a
notice
of
determination
and
that's
the
result
of
the
review
that
we
do
on
the
back
side
of
that
notice
of
determination.
Are
the
instructions
to
take
it.
Take
your
appeal
to
a
higher
level.
If
you
still
disagree
with
our
value-
and
this
is
to
the
County
Board
of
Equalization,
so
there's
instructions.
It
is
not
my
office.
The
County
Board
of
Equalization
is
under
the
County
Commissioners.
It
is
a
process
where
we
show
up
with
a
report
that
we
shared
with
you.
B
B
Those
hearings
run
until
November
1st
and
then
shortly
after
that,
the
County
Board
sends
out
their
notices,
a
determination
and
within
30
days
of
that
time,
when
you
receive
that
you
can
apply
to
yet
higher
levels
of
appeal,
so
you
can
move
into
next
year.
You
can
file
with
the
county
with
the
state,
which
is
the
board
of
assessment,
appeals.
Again,
that's
a
hearing.
You
have
hearing
officers
who
hear
and
make
decisions
on
your
appeal.
B
You
can
go
to
District
Court,
which
is
you
work
with
an
attorney
to
go
to
the
district
court
or
you
can
choose
to
go
to
binding
arbitration.
The
thing
to
note
about
binding
arbitration
is,
it
is
actually
handled
by
the
County
Board
of
Equalization
and
when
you
go
to
binding
arbitration
you're
and
the
decision
is
rendered,
your
appeal
rights
end
at
that
hearing.
So
you
have
lots
of
options.
B
There
is
one
more
option.
It's
a
look
back
if,
for
some
reason
you
can't
get
an
appeal
in
this
year
there
is
always
the
option
to
after
January
1
of
next
year
to
popcorn
abatement.
So
and
there's
a
lot
of
that
on
our
website.
You
can
look
at
abatements
and
to
see
if
that's
a
process
that
would
apply
to
you
so
reasons
to
to
file
an
appeal.
So
there's
a
lot
of
reasons.
The
first
one
I
think
all
of
you
have
noticed.
B
So
that's
a
great
reason
and
we
hear
from
a
lot
of
people
for
this
reason,
another
thing
to
to
file
an
appeal
is
that
our
property
record
is
inaccurate
and
for
the
properties
that
are
vacant
land
home
was
destroyed.
We
may
not
know
things
about
your
property.
There
may
be
condition
issues
and
that's
the
third
reason,
but
maybe
there's
things
about
your
land
that
we're
not
aware
of
that.
We
need
to
know,
or
if
you
had
a
damaged
home,
we
we
have
us
made
an
assumption
that
you
had
remediation.
B
You
may
not
have
done
that
and
we
need
to
hear
from
that
so
make
sure
that
you've
talked
to
us
about
that.
Make
sure
if
you
have
a
home
that
our
description
of
your
property,
your
property
record
with
us,
is
accurate,
so
it
is
not
accurate.
That's
a
great
way
to
Great
reason
to
file
an
appeal.
Also,
if
we
have
you
incorrectly
classified
that
doesn't
happen
very
often.
B
But
if
you
know
you
were
in
a
property
that
changed
classification
say
from
a
home
that
was
used
as
a
business
and
it
became
a
home
again
and
we
missed
that.
That's
a
reason
to
file
an
appeal
for
us
to
get
the
classification
correct
and
then
I
alluded
to
condition
issues.
I
know
there
were
some
questions
around
things
that
still
need
to
be
done.
Properties
before
they
can
be
built
on.
B
That's
a
good
reason
to
apply
an
appeal,
that's
something
we
don't
know
about,
and
we
want
to
hear
about
it
and
then
the
the
last
bit
is
that
we
cannot
accept
an
appeal
on
taxes.
We
need
to
hear
about
your
concerns
about
value
and
I'll
touch
on
taxes.
Further
on
in
this
presentation,
taxes
are
complicated
formula
and
what
the
assessor's
office
does
is
establish
value.
So
please
appeal
your
value,
so
there's
some
minimum
requirements,
you,
those
of
you,
received
a
postcard
or
your
notice
evaluation.
B
All
you
all
you
have
to
do
legally
is
sign
it
and
get
it
into
us
on
time.
I
would
really
appreciate
it
if
you
had
more
information,
if
you
shared
that
with
us,
it
gives
us
a
place
to
start.
If
we
don't
know
your
concerns,
we
don't
know
where
to
start
and
want
to
look
for.
So
when
we
get
an
appeal
that
says
my
value
is
too
high
and
it's
signed.
We
don't
even
know
what
we're
looking
for
and
the
way
of
a
concern.
B
B
We
can't
accept
it.
So
please
make
sure
your
appeal
is
on
time.
So
what
can
you
provide
during
your
appeal
or
for
when
you
file?
Certainly
your
owner
estimate
of
value.
What
do
you
think
it's
worth
comparable
sales
and
I
know
this
is
complicated
with
the
properties
that
were
destroyed
with
Marshall
fire,
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
sales,
so
we've
compiled
a
list
of
the
sales
I've
shared
it
out
with
some
groups,
but
it's
also
on
our
website.
If
you
want
this
list
of
sales,
please
email
us
or
call
us.
B
We
will
get
it
to
you,
there's
about
20
some
sales
that
occur
during
this
data
collection
period
that
we're
making
available
to
you
and
look
at
those
properties
and
find
sales
that
are
either
in
your
neighborhood
or
in
a
neighborhood
that
is
similar
to
yours,
and
we
know
that
there's
not
a
lot,
so
it's
going
to
take
a
little
looking,
but
those
are
the
sales
you
want
to
look
at.
If
you
still
have
a
home
on
your
property,
we
have
a
tool
that
will
help
you
with
that.
B
It's
on
our
website,
where
you
can
put
in
your
account
and
it
pulls
comparables
for
you,
this
tool
works
for
properties
with
homes
on
it.
It
doesn't
work
for
properties
that
don't
have
homes
so,
but
we
can
provide
the
sales
list
as
needed
if
you
have
a
home
or
even
your
lot
and
you
have
Costa
cure
from
contractors
what
is
going
on
with
your
lot,
what
it
will
cost
you
to
get
it
ready?
What
are
your
estimate
of
remediation?
You
still
need
to
do
in
your
home.
We
would
like
to
hear
about
that.
B
Helps
us
make
decisions.
Photos
if
you
have
photographs
about
condition
issues.
Please
share
those
with
us.
You
can
upload
them.
Email
them
to
us,
send
them
in
to
us
in
in
the
mail.
Those
will
help
us
as
well
or
if
you've
had
a
fee
appraisal
done,
particularly
ones
for
purchase
or
refinance.
If
that
was
done
during
the
data
collection
period,
that's
really
valuable
information
for
us.
If
it
was
done
soon
afterward,
we
can
look
at
it.
It
has
less
impact,
but
we
still
want
to
see
what
the
what
your
appraisal
says
about
your
property.
B
So
we
have
tons
of
tools
on
our
website.
Our
website
can
be
a
little
overwhelming,
but
we're
trying
to
put
everything
out
there
that
we
can
to
help
you.
One
of
the
tools
that's
been
there
for
years
is
the
property
search
tool.
You
can
find
it
on
the
top
menu
of
the
Boulder
County
website
and
it
is
a
mapping
tool.
It
allows
you
to
look
up
by
your
address
or
by
your
account
number
and
look
at
the
characteristics
we
have
for
your
property.
So
that's
a
very
powerful
tool
to
use.
B
We
have
a
new
tool,
the
residential,
comparable
sales
lookup
tool.
This
is
the
one
I
was
alluding
to
that
works
best.
If
you
have
a
home
on
your
property
it's
available
and
will
help
you
find
comparables,
we
have
all
kinds
of
sales
lists.
The
sales
list
for
the
destroyed
properties
that
they
can
land
properties
is
on
our
website.
When
you
go
into
the
website
about
a
third
of
the
way
down,
there's
a
reddish
button
that
takes
you
to
our
page.
B
That
has
all
of
our
information
for
appeals,
and
you
want
to
look
for
the
sales
list
and
for
these
sales
you
need
to
find
the
vacant
sales
list
and
there's
a
spreadsheet
there
that
you
can
download
or
call
us
we'll,
send
it
to
you,
there's
all
kinds
of
helpful
forms
and
handouts,
and
there's
more
so
it's
at
boulderassessor.org
and
if
you
get
on
there
and
you
just
need
help
navigating
it.
Please
give
us
a
call
we're
happy
to
do
that.
B
So
how
do
you
file
an
appeal?
Well,
the
only
way
that
you
can't
file
an
appeal
with
Boulder
County
is
over
the
phone
and
the
reason
we
can't
do
it
over
the
phone.
Is
we
really
need
a
record
that
you
are
filing
an
appeal
so
that
we
have
your
signature
on
something
either
an
electronic,
an
email
that
tells
us
you
sent
it
in
or
paper
or
if
you
do
it
on
our
online
appeal
tool.
That
gives
us
a
record.
B
It's
simple,
it'll
walk
you
through.
You
can
upload
and
attach
photographs
and
documents
and
submit
that
way.
We
during
covid
just
to
make
it
easier
and
more
accessible
for
people.
We
opened
up
email
appeals
and
that
has
been
so
popular
that
we're
just
going
to
continue
doing
that
email
assessor
at
bouldercounty.org,
attach
what
you
need
to
send
us
a
lot
of
texts.
Let
us
know
what
your
concerns
are
completely
acceptable
way
to
file
an
appeal.
You
can
mail
things
into
it,
see
they
have
a
postcard.
B
B
I
have
my
appraisers
Staffing
the
front
counter.
So
if
you
come
in-
and
you
want
to
talk
to
someone
here
in
at
the
courthouse-
welcome
to
do
that-
we're
open
7,
30
to
5
Monday
through
Thursday
and
welcome
you.
We
also
have
a
couple
of
drop
boxes
if
you're
busy
and
you
have
your
paperwork
and
you
just
want
to
drop
it
and
go
certainly
can
drop
it
in
our
office.
B
But
we
have
a
drop
box
right
across
from
the
Boulder
Theater
on
14th
Street
and
we
have
another
one
in
Longmont
the
county
building
on
Kaufman,
and
we
still
have
people
who
packs
things
to
us.
So
we
do
have
a
fax
number.
So
if
you
that's
the
way
that
you
want
to
communicate
on
the
Pax
numbers
here,.
B
So
I
wanted
to
touch
touch
a
little
bit
about
taxes,
so
taxes
is
more
complicated,
so
what
the
Assessors
Office
does
is.
We
are
statutorily
required
to
establish
value.
So
that's
the
first
box
in
this
formula,
so
we
set
a
value.
We
then
multiply
it
times
an
assessment
rate
and
the
assessment
rate
is
set
by
the
Colorado
legislature.
It
used
to
be
something
that
Gallagher
managed
so
Gallagher.
We've
all
heard
that
Gallagher
was
laid
down
in
2020
and
what
it
took
out
of
Gallagher
was
the
balance
between
residential
property
and
all
other
property.
B
B
The
legislature
is
doing
this
now
and
they
have
changed
it
every
year
since
then,
and
it
has
gone
down
and
over
over
the
years
it
has
only
gone
down
So
currently,
for
this
year,
the
assessment
rate
for
residential,
the
7.6,
7.765
I
believe
I
always
get
that
wrong
because
of
the
three
decimals,
but
it's
very
low.
It's
less
than
seven
percent
of
your
actual
value
is
what
your
taxes
are
calculated
from.
B
So
the
next
piece
in
this
calculation
is
the
mill
11..
So
we
take
the
assessment
rate
times
the
middle
Levy.
To
arrive
at
your
taxes,
the
mill
Levy
is
set
by
the
taxing
jurisdictions
so
by
the
county
by
the
school
district
by
your
Cities
Fire
districts,
water,
districts,
Metro,
districts,
Library
districts,
they
all
establish
no
levies
and
the
middle
Levy
allows
them
to
meet
their
budget.
B
So,
in
August
of
every
year
my
office
sends
out
a
letter
to
every
District
telling
them
here's
the
value
of
the
properties
in
your
district
and
they
begin
to
build
their
budgets.
This
is
an
open
and
transparent
process.
They
have
websites.
You
can
check
with
every
District
as
to
what's
going
on
and
participate
in
their
process,
and
the
middle
Levy
is
what
helps
them
meet
their
budgets.
B
The
middle
levees
are
delivered
to
the
county
in
December
and
approved
by
the
County
Commissioners,
and
then
taxes
are
calculated
using
those
11s,
so
it
it
is
more
than
just
your
value,
and
this
is
another
graphic
I
found.
This
is
not
something
I
created,
appreciate
someone
who
did
this
so
it
it's
a
shows
that
the
inverted
nature
of
the
comparison
of
actual
value
to
taxes,
so
actual
values
are
set
by
my
office.
The
assessment
rate
is
set
by
the
state
legislature,
which
establishes
the
assessed
value,
which
is
the
third
section
down.
The
mill.
B
Levy
is
then
decided
by
the
districts,
and
then
taxes
are
calculated
from
that.
So
you
may
have
seen
a
large
increase
in
value,
but
it's
not
a
dollar
for
dollar
increase
in
your
taxes.
You
will
see
an
increase
in
your
taxes.
That
goes
without
saying,
but
it
will
not
be
the
35
42
percent
that
you
saw
increases
in
your
value,
it's
much
less
because
of
the
assessment
rate
and
the
no
worries
so
I
just
threw
this
map
in
here.
This
is
a
map
that
we
produced
and
it
was
put
out
in
different
press
releases.
B
It's
a
little
bit
light
colored
and
I
apologize
for
that.
But
basically
it's
the
median
value
increases
across
Boulder
County,
so
the
median
value
for
single
family
residences,
the
median
value
increase
this
year
is
35
and
that
is
a
historically
High
increase.
We've
never
seen
increases
in
value
this
high,
but
when
we
break
it
down
to
different
portions
of
the
county,
there's
different
percentages,
so
the
city
of
Boulder
was
right
at
35,
but
Lewisville
was
at
42
percent
Superior
at
40,
so
we
saw
historic
increases
in
values
in
Boulder
County.
B
B
This
is
broken.
This
breaks
the
state
up
into
regions.
These
are
assessor
regions,
these
have
no
other
meaning
other
than
grouping
assessors.
Who
may
have
like
kinds
of
concerns
and
properties.
We
are
in
region,
six,
we're
included
with
the
Denver
metro
area
and
across
the
metro
area
we
saw
median
increases
35
to
45
percent.
B
The
highest
increases
were
in
the
recreational
corridors
of
our
County,
which
are
in
the
mountains,
where
the
ski
resorts
are
and
and
on
the
Western
Slope,
and
they
saw
you
know
anywhere
from
25
to
80
increases
in
value.
So
this
really
is
Beyond
just
Boulder
County.
This
is
something
that
we're
dealing
with
across
the
state
and
dealing
with
really
across
the
country,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
reasons
for
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons
why
our
values
went
up.
B
The
biggest
is
that
the
time
period
that
we
must
use
to
establish
values
for
this
year
was
a
time
when
sales
were
really
high.
People
were
paying
a
lot
of
money
for
homes.
There
was
very
little
inventory.
There
was
a
lot
of
competition
for
homes,
and
so
those
sales
had
high
price
points
much
higher
than
we
had
seen
before
and
we're
required
to
use
those.
Now
the
market
is
Shifting.
Things
are
less
today
than
they
were
during
that
data
collection
period,
but
we're
not
allowed
to
consider
current
data.
B
My
last
slide
is
about
tax
relief
for
seniors,
and
there
were
there
was
at
least
one
question
about:
what
can
what
can
help
seniors?
So
there
were
almost
200
homes
that
were
destroyed,
that
had
senior
exemptions
on
them,
and
so
the
the
three
exemption
programs
that
my
office
manages
that
seniors
can
take
or
that
they
give
you
some
tax
relief.
Are
the
first
three,
the
senior
homestead
exemption,
the
disabled
veterans
exemption
and
the
gold
star
spouse
exemption?
So
we
handle
these.
These
all
have
age
and
occupancy
limits
on
them.
B
So
particularly
the
senior
exemption.
You
have
to
be
65
years
of
age
on
January
1
of
the
year
you
apply
and
you
have
to
have
lived
and
occupied
your
home
for
10
years
prior
to
that
January
one
date,
and
what
that
happens
is
that
we
take
fifty
percent
of
the
first
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
taxes,
and
the
state
pays
that
for
you.
So
it's
basically
a
simpler
way
to
look
at
is
the
taxes
for
the
first
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
value
in
their
home
will
pay
for
you
by
the
state.
B
This
exemption
plot
applies
to
the
home
value,
so
it
won't
apply
to
the
land
value,
so
there's
no
relief
on
the
land
value,
but
once
your
home
is
built,
if
you
move
back
in
it
is
your
home,
your
primary
home,
the
exemption
will
be
back
in
place
if
you
chose
to
move
away
and
have
a
different
home,
be
your
primary
occupant,
your
primary
occupied,
your
primary
home.
Excuse
me
that
exemption
would
have
traveled
with
you
and
it's
now
on
your
new
home.
B
If
you
did
that,
and
you
moved
to
that
new
home
and
said
this
is
my
new
home.
This
is
my
primary
home
and
then
you
decide
to
move
back
into
the
Lewisville
Superior
area.
That
exemption
will
not
move
back
with
you.
The
way
things
stand
today.
So
it
follows
you
or
it
stays
with
your
primary
home
either
stayed
with
the
home
in
the
Lewisville
Superior
area,
or
you
moved
it
to
a
new
home.
The
disabled
veterans
exemption
is
for
veterans
that
are
honorably
discharged
with
a
hundred
percent
disability
service
related
disability.
B
Currently
they
apply
for
these
through
Veteran
Affairs.
This
program
works
should
move
to
the
assessor's
office.
In
January
of
next
year,
but
for
now
it's
through
Veteran
Affairs,
again
we
honor
these
being
on
homes,
they'll
be
on
homes.
If
people
move
back
to
them
can
move
with
the
veteran
if
they
moved
elsewhere,
but
gold
star,
spouse
exemption
is
for
the
surviving
spouse
of
of
a
person
who
passed
away
in
the
line
of
duty,
and
we
have
very
few
of
these
in
Colorado,
but
that
exemption
as
well.
B
If
they
were
in
this
area,
they
would
retain
that
and
it
would
follow
them
as
well.
So
the
other,
the
fourth
one
on
this
list
is
a
senior
tax
deferral,
and
this
is
a
deferral
program.
There's
actually
an
article
in
the
newspaper
today,
I
think
or
yesterday
around
the
deferral
program
is
now
managed
by
the
state
and
what
it
allows
you
to
do
is
year
over
year,
you
can
choose
to
have
the
state
or
apply
the
state
pay
your
taxes
for
you.
B
It
does
put
a
lien
on
your
property.
There
are
criteria
around
applying
for
this,
and
who
is
qualified.
I
would
refer
you
to
the
state
office,
just
Google
on
senior
tax
deferral.
It's
a
very
simple
process
to
apply
and
it
has
very
low
interest
right
now.
I
think
it's
around
four
percent
interest
for
these
loans.
So
it's
another
way.
If
you
really
struggling
to
pay
your
taxes
this
year,
there
is
a
method
to
have
to
get
some
help.
B
The
last
three
are
programs
that
are
handled
the
property,
tax,
rent
and
heat
credit
program,
and
the
LEAP
program
are
State
programs
to
help
folks
with
with
needs.
They
have
income
levels
on
them,
so
it's
poverty,
level,
type,
helps
and
may
not
apply,
but
good
to
know
about
them,
and
the
last
one
is
a
program
where,
if
you're,
65
years
old
of
age
or
older-
and
you
want
to
work
off
a
portion
of
your
taxes,
you
can
vote
of
county
participates
in
this
program.
B
You
can
sign
up
for
the
program
and
work
off
your
county
portion
of
the
taxes.
So
it's
a
way
that
I
have
some
folks
working
for
me,
helping
me
with
the
appeal
process:
sorting,
mail
and
whatnot,
and
there
they
have
X
number
of
hours
that
they
can
work
to
pay
for
their
taxes,
their
County
taxes
and
they
earn
the
state
minimum
wage,
which
is
a
little
over
thirteen
dollars
an
hour.
So
that
took
a
lot
less
time
than
I
thought.
B
B
C
Go
there,
you
go
I
think
so
we
see
that
there
are
two
hands
up
in
the
participants.
We
cannot
answer,
live
questions
and
you're
not
actually
able
to
do
that
with
the
current
technology.
So
if
you
could
ask
her
a
question
in
the
chat,
we
will
do
our
best
in
answering
it.
Okay,
thank
you
so
I
know
there's
a
bunch
of
questions
in
the
chat
right
now.
There's
some
questions
about
specifics.
C
C
Answered,
thank
you
thanks
Cindy
and
thanks
Susan
for
answering
live,
so
we're
going
to
ask
some
of
the
questions
that
we
got
asked
before
Cindy's
presentation.
Some
of
these
questions
have
been
answered
already,
but
because
we
got
asked
them
and
we
got
asked
them
multiple
times.
I'm
just
gonna
have
Cindy
reiterate
the
answer
so
because
I
know
sometimes
it's
a
lot
of
information.
It
may
be
easier
to
hear
the
second
time
and
that
that
way
also
for
recording
if
someone
Tunes
in
later.
C
Maybe
they
see
this
part
and
the
earlier
part,
so
the
first
set
of
questions
and
I
have
them
organized
are
all
about
the
vacant,
the
Lots,
without
properties
on
without
buildings,
on
them
right
now.
So
the
first
question
is:
why
has
the
assessment
value
on
vacant
lot?
Land
increase
so
much
when
vacant
Lots
aren't
really
selling.
B
So
it's
we
base
our
values
on
data
we
collected
during
that
base
base
period
from
July
1st
2020
through
June
30th
2022..
So
during
that
time,
frame
properties
were
selling
for
a
lot,
and
that
was
the
basis
of
the
increase
that
you'll
see
that
people
saw
on
their
their
property
value.
So
it
wasn't
arbitrary.
We
can't
consider
what's
going
on
right
now.
B
C
B
Yes,
because
we
had
to
look
at
their
residential,
so
a
state
law
says
that
three
to
five
years,
these
lots
are
considered
residential,
which
is
a
favorable
rate
right,
it's
less
than
seven
percent.
That's
good
vacant
land
is
a
little
over
27,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
captured
some
as
residential
land
and
value
them
as
residential
land.
And
so
that's
that's
the
reason
and
we're
looking
at
this
data
collection
period
with
historically
High
property
prices.
C
B
So
what
my
staff
did
is
pull
together
all
of
the
sales
that
can
be
used
for
comparables
for
these
properties
and
that
spreadsheet
is
on
our
website,
happy
to
email
it
to
you.
If
you
give
us
a
call
or
email
us
we'll
get
it
to
you,
it
has
I
believe
it's
22
or
24
sales
on
it.
We
are
aware
that
there
are
not
sales
in
every
neighborhood,
so
you
may
be
in
a
subdivision
or
a
neighborhood
that
didn't
have
any
sales
during
this
data
collection
period.
B
What
we
ask
you
to
do
is
look
for
sales
that
are
similar,
and
so
we
don't,
we
will
adjust
for
things
like
they
have
bigger
Lots.
So
if
you
consider
how
fee
appraisals
are
done,
when
there
are
differences
between
properties,
there's
adjustments
made
so
positive
or
negative
adjustments
so
find
things
similar
to
your
property
and
use
those,
and
that's
exactly
what
my
staff
will
be
doing
we'll
be
looking
for
similar
properties
to
help
get
things.
As
you
know,
as
good
as
we
can.
C
So
then,
the
last
question
that
I
have
on
the
the
Lots
without
houses
on
them
is
if
there
are,
if
this
the
lot
hasn't
been
fully
remediated,
there's
debris
still
there's
retaining
walls
to
be
issued
in
their
soil
stabilization.
Can
that
be
part
of
the
appeals
process,
since
it's
not
really
a
ready
to
build
lot.
B
Absolutely,
and
what
we'd
like
to
hear
from
you
is,
are
what
are
the
costs
here?
Are
you
getting?
Do
you
have
any
estimates
of?
Is
it
going
to
be
thirty
thousand
eighty
thousand
to
build?
You
know
if
you
have
to
do
retaining
walls,
if
you
still
are
doing
debris,
removal?
What's
that
cost
to
you?
What
what
are
you
doing
so,
please
share
information.
We
absolutely
want
to
hear
from
you.
C
B
B
B
C
B
So
last
year
we
offered
it
we
provided
or
not,
provided
we
reduced
values
for
I
think
it
was
7
500
homes,
because
we
from
the
best
information
we
had,
they
were
impacted
by
smoke
and
I
lived
in
Lewisville.
The
home
I
live
in
Melissa
all
my
homes,
the
homes
around
me
had
smoke
damage
and
so
I
saw
a
lot
of
insulation
trucks,
addicts
being
cleaned
out
a
lot
of
cleaning
going
on.
So
there
was
a
reduction
in
2022
and
2021.
B
We
made
an
assumption
that
these
were
that
properties
had
been
remediated.
That
may
not
be
correct
for
your
property,
so
please
appeal
your
property
and
let
us
know
what
you're
still
facing
we've
been
made
aware
recently
of
several
homes
where
they're
still
not
livable
and
my
staff
don't
have
access
into
homes.
So
when
we
drive
by
it
looks
like
a
home
that
could
be
lived
in
so
that
we
may
be
an
error
there.
So,
please,
let
us
know,
please
let
us
know
any
costs
that
you're
facing
and
we'll
take
that
into
consideration.
C
B
We'll
be
at
the
Lewisville
Rec
Center
I
will
be
there
tomorrow,
which
is
March
20
of
May
25th
long
month,
we'll
be
there
from
7
30
a.m
to
5
p.m,
and
I'll
have
quite
a
few
staff
there.
So
don't
hesitate,
come
in
we'll
work
with
you,
we're
going
to
be
there
again.
Next
Thursday
June
1st
7
30
to
5
p.m,
again
same
Staffing!
So
please,
if
you
you
can
make
it
please
come
in.
B
C
B
B
When
we
look
at
sales
and
over
the
years
we
we
analyze,
the
sales
is
that
Landscaping
does
not
contribute
to
value
now
it
contributes
to
curb
appeal
and
people
buy
properties
because
they
have
beautiful
landscaping,
but
when
it
comes
to
valuation,
the
actual
the
grass
and
the
trees
don't
contribute
to
the
value
from
what
we've
seen
in
our
modeling.
It's
something
we
continue
to
test.
But
to
this
point
the
loss
of
your
Landscaping
is
is
not
raising
or
lowering
their
value.
It
doesn't
contribute.
C
B
So
we
need
to
look
again
where
you
look
at
the
market,
so
we
would
look
in
that
area
and
see
if
the
market
has
shown
that
there's
a
negative
impact
or
lower
sale
prices
lower
the
characteristics
of
those
properties
are
not
bringing
in
the
value
we
would
expect
because
of
things
in
the
community.
Now
we
we
know
the
coal
mines,
the
burning
coal
mines
that
are
there,
the
seams
are
not
something
we've
considered,
it's
something
that
we're
looking
at
and
we'll
we'll
learn
more
about.
B
C
B
You
you
also
can
work,
there
are
people
who
will
do
appeals
for
you,
so
I
don't
want
to
to
miss
that
you
there's
no
reason
absolutely
no
reason.
You
can't
appeal
yourself.
We
will
help
you
in
every
way
we
can
get
your
appeal
filed,
but
I
know
there
are
realtors
who
are
happy
to
work
with
you
find
comparables.
If
you
have
someone
you
feel
comfortable
with,
and
you
want
to
do
that,
go
go
for
it.
We
wouldn't
you
know,
we
don't
have
a
problem
with
that
at
all.
B
C
B
C
B
B
We
don't
know
your
property
specifically.
This
gives
you
an
opportunity
to
walk
from
the
mass
appraisal
into
the
individual
property
and
have
us
understand,
what's
unique
about
your
property.
What
we
may
not
have
captured
about
your
property
and
talk
to
us
directly
and
and
like
I
said
before,
I
cannot
appeal
for
you,
there's
no
instrument
under
the
law
that
allows
that.
C
B
B
C
Add
more
okay,
so
my
last,
these
are
a
couple
of
miscellaneous
questions.
We
got
ahead
of
time.
Can
you
re-go
over
the
information
about
the
senior
Homestead
tax
exemption
and
then
also
the
second
part
of
that?
Is
that
automatically
included
or
do
we
need
to
remind
your
office
or
do
we
need
to
fill
out
an
annual
fund.
B
So
you
only
have
to
fill
it
out
one
time
it
is
not
annual
once
you're
in
our
records
you're
in
until
you
sell
your
home
or
you
know
some
life-changing
event,
so
you
apply
one
time
and
you're
accepted.
You
can
always
call
our
office
and
ask
if
you're
concerned
we're
happy
to
look
at
your
account
up
and
let
you
know
so.
B
B
It
stays
with
you
as
long
as
you're
in
their
home.
Under
the
current
law.
It
is
not
portable.
So
when
you
move
you
get
you
downsize,
you
you
move
to
another
County,
it
doesn't
go
with
you.
We
have
to
start
the
10-year
clock
over
there's
a
few
exceptions
to
that
one
is
destruction
of
property
due
to
natural
causes.
B
So
what's
happened
here
in
the
Marshall:
fire
allows
Property
Owners
to
say
I
I've
decided
I
want
to
go
somewhere
else
and
make
that
my
primary
home,
that
exemption
will
go
with
them
or
it
can
stay
with
their
property
here
and
when
they
move
back
into
their
home.
When
it's
finished,
the
senior
exemption
kicks
off
again.
B
We
also
have
sorry
Katie
if
you're
a
surviving
spouse.
If
say
your
partner
is
the
person
who
had
the
exemption
and
they
pass
away.
That
exemption
will
stay
with
you.
You
just
have
to
reapply.
So
when
we
find
out
that
there's
been
a
death
of
an
exemption,
someone
who
has
the
exemption
we
try
to
send
out
a
form.
It's
the
long
form
that
we
need
you
to
fill
out.
There's
no
penalty.
It
just
allows
us
to
continue
the
exemption
on
that
home
and
for
that
person.
B
B
B
Those
don't
impact
value.
Now.
What
might
impact
value?
Is
you
back
up
to
power
lines?
Now?
That's
not
an
easement
on
your
property,
but
if
you
have
a
power
line
behind
your
property
and
you
feel
it
impacts,
you
negatively
I
would
pile
on
a
deal
and
make
sure
we're
considering
that,
but
General
easements
on
your
lot
are
just
part
of
the
law.
It's
part
of
all
laws,
sort
of
the
standard.
What
we'd
expect
to
find.
C
B
So
there
isn't
an
individual
report,
so
it's
Mass
appraisal.
So
what
we
can
walk
you
through
are
the
characteristics
of
your
property,
and
that
is
available
to
you.
It's
out
in
the
property
search
tool
on
the
web
or
you
can
call
in
and
have
one
of
us
walk
through.
You
can
come
in
here
and
look
at
your
property
and
we
can
look
at
all
the
characteristics
we
don't
have.
B
You
know
years
ago
my
predecessors
provided
on
what
they
called
Sample
Sales,
so
they
would
put
properties
from
your
area
on
your
notice
evaluation
and
they
generally
were
so
bad.
They
were
not
very
comparable
that
we
decided
to
discontinue
that
practice
because
they
weren't
used
in
the
modeling
at
all.
They
weren't
used
to
arrive
at
that
value.
The
appeal
process
is
what
allows
us
to
look
at
properties
that
are
more
specific
to
yours,
so
that's
the
comparable
sales
that
you
find
or
that
we
find
that
describe
your
properties
more
more
efficient
more
effectively.
B
B
If
you
are
interested
in
the
data
or
the
process
that
is
available,
we
can
provide
that.
But
that's
a
lot
of
big
stuff.
You
have
to
want
to
have
a
lot
of
data
CRS
our
model
things
like
that,
and
that
is
available.
We
can
make
that
get
that
to
you.
We
just
need
you
to
contact
us
if
you're
a
data
person-
and
you
really
just
want
to
see
the
whole
thing.
C
Why
wasn't
there
a
more
special
process
considered
for
Marshall
fire
survivors?
What
did
the
governor?
What
did
the
governor
consider?
What
did
the
assessor's
office
advocate
for
and
how
can
I
as
a
homeowner
and
resident
of
the
county,
make
changes
to
Future
processes
or
argue
against
those
process.
B
Okay,
so
changes
we're
we're
held
assessor's
office
at
Statewide
are
held
to
the
Constitution,
the
state
statutes.
We
are
not
policy
making
elected
officials,
we
are
constitutional.
We
have
no
power
to
change
the
laws
we
do
Advocate,
we
have
lobbyists.
We
have
legislative
committee
that
interacts
with
the
legislators
and
talks
about
what
we
feel
should
be
done.
We
we
are
allowed
to
voice
opinion
and
concern
about
bills
that
legislators
put
forth.
Your
best
path
forward
is
to
work
with
the
legislator.
So
there
are
some
great
folks
representing
Us
in
the
Lewisville
Superior
area.
B
We
did
see
some
bills
pass
that
are
directly
for
Marshall
fire
properties
and
and
owners,
and
that
is
your
best
best
path
forward
because
they
can
change
the
loss.
I
cannot
I'm
happy
to
go
talk
with
them.
If
you
want,
if
you
all
want
to
talk
to
me
about
something,
I
can
Advocate,
but
really
I
have
no
hour
over
the
legislative
process
other
than
that.
So
why
were
they
why
these
properties
not
considered
in
a
special
way
they
are
in
that
they?
B
We
have
all
the
sales
price,
all
the
sales
that
we
used
are
out
on
our
website
in
spreadsheets.
If
you
are
comfortable
doing
maths,
you
can
do
that
or
you
can
put
in
a
request
to
my
office
and
we,
you
know,
we
need
to
know
the
neighborhood.
We
need
to
know
what
you're
looking
for
and
we
can
do
the
math
for.
B
C
B
C
B
B
This
is
new
enough
that
it
hasn't
shown
in
our
model
to
show
that
values,
property
values
are
reduced
by
this,
but
it's
something
we
test
for
so
when,
if
over
time
we
start
seeing
that
houses
that
are
open
or
near
risky
areas,
high
risk
for
Wildfire
are
selling
for
less.
Then
we
will
recognize
that
in
our
property
values.
C
B
Again,
we
use
the
market
method
and
those
sales
we
qualify
them.
We
look
at
them
closely
to
make
sure
that
their
arm's
length
that
they're
willing
seller,
willing,
buyer,
knowledgeable,
seller
or
buyer
on
the
open
market,
but
nothing
else
was
sold
with
the
property.
For
example,
the
sale
price
did
not
include
a
car
and
we
use
we
use
that
data
and
I've
lost
track
of
the
question.
I'm.
Sorry
Katie.
C
B
B
Part
of
the
correcting
of
value
is
the
appeal
process,
and
so,
if
Property
Owners
feel
that
this
is
true
for
them,
that
their
actual
values
during
this
data
collection
period
should
be
lower
than
we
have
it.
Please
file
an
appeal,
and
let
us
know
that
and
we'll
look
at
the
market,
we'll
look
at
the
sales
and
we'll
adjust
accordingly.
C
B
Process
so
we
look
at
condition
of
properties
on
January
1.,
so
if
it
was
remediated
by
January
1,
then
if
your
property
is
at
full
value,
if
it
was
not
by
January
1,
then
let
us
know-
and
let
us
know
what
sort
of
cost
you're
still
facing
to
remediate
it,
but
bear
in
mind
that
Landscaping
doesn't
contribute
a
lot
to
the
mass
appraisal
model.
We
haven't
shown
that
Landscaping
has
a
positive
or
negative
impact
on
property
value.
C
C
B
You
know
six
to
eight
thousand
dollars
was
increased
by
that
amount
based
on
what
other
Condominiums
were
being
valued
at,
but
so
the
ones
that
I
know
a
lot
of
them
have
not
been
rebuilt,
they're
valued
at
their
percent
ownership
in
the
land
in
the
in
the
property.
It's
not
really
the
land.
It's
in
the
condominium.
C
B
Sure,
and
just
back
to
the
last
question,
if
you
feel
your
value
as
a
condominium
was
not,
is
that
correct?
Please
appeal
and
sound
like
a
broken
record,
but
if
you
know
things
about
your
property,
please
let
us
know
and
we'll
work
with
you
and
we
have
someone
who
worked
on
the
Condominiums.
He
will
be
looking
at
these
one
of
my
appraisers,
the
damage
assessment,
so
we
worked
with
the
best
information
we
had,
and
that
was
people
who
reported
damage.
B
So
through
the
the
process
We
There
were
reports
made
to
the
county
of
of
damage
to
homes.
We
went
through
an
analysis
where
we,
because
not
every
home,
reported
matter
of
fact
very
few
did
we
did
sort
of
an
extrapolation
where
we
did
a
hot
spot
analysis
that
showed
if
this
property
said
they
had
severe
damage,
it
was
reasonable
to
assume
that
the
homes
near
them
also
had
damage.
B
C
B
So
it
so
every
property
has
different
characteristics.
It's
rare
to
find
homes
that
are
exactly
identical,
so
we
look
for
residential
property,
it's
the
whole
value,
so
it's
the
building
in
the
land
together
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
use
the
extraction
method
for
the
properties
where
the
homes
were
destroyed
because
we
needed
to
be
able
to
look
at
the
whole
property
and
then
remove
the
home.
B
So
the
percent
increase
depends
on
the
characteristics
of
that
property
and
it
could
be
anything
from
location
to
you
know,
bedroom
square
footage,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
characteristics
that
we
look
at
and
so
not
every
home
will
have
the
same
percent
increase.
So
you
could.
Your
neighbor
could
have
a
different
one
than
you
do
and
it's
based
on
each
individual
property
and
what
what
we
know
about
those
properties.
B
If
you
have
information
to
share,
say
you
have
engineer
reports
or
cost
to
cure
someone's
giving
you
a
you
know,
it's
gonna,
here's
an
estimate
of
what
it
will
cost
to
repair
something
or,
if
you're
in
a
home,
and
you
have
damage
still
if
you
could
bring
something
to
share
with
us.
That
would
be
great.
That
would
help.
We
will
have
appeal
forms:
we'll
have
staff
who
have
access
to
the
sales
and
they
can
help
you
select
comparables.
They
can
guide
you
through
the
comparables.
B
B
It
is
extremely
rare
that
we
increase
values
during
an
appeal.
The
only
time
I've
seen
values,
and
we
can
it
most
like
it
doesn't
happen.
I
had
I
asked
for
my
value
to
be
increased,
and
that
was
done
for
me.
You,
you
need
to
ask
basically
and
once
in
a
while,
we
have
a
property
owner
come
in
and
say
I
want
my
value
and
I
could
justify
and
increase
in
value
and
I'd.
B
Like
you
to
raise
my
value
to
this,
we
won't
raise
it
to
some
I
want
my
house
to
be
worth
a
million
and
we
look
at
it
says:
no
wait
it's
in
the
market,
it's
worth
a
million.
We
can't
do
that,
but
if,
if
you
really
want
your
property
value
increased
and
you
could
show
us
why
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that,
it
is
exceedingly
rare
for
that
to
happen.
So
if
you
come
in
and
file
an
appeal,
you're
not
going
to
see
a
value
increase.
B
B
That
says,
if
a
property
has
carbon
gutters
it's
this
percent
of
the
value,
if
it
has
utilities,
is
this
this
percent,
and
so,
if
there's
a
cost
bills
up
formula,
when
we
looked
at
that
formula,
the
properties
as
we
saw
them
on
January
1
of
2022,
we're
only
50
there
that
we
couldn't
build
them
up
to
100
because
of
the
damage.
So
that's
where
the
50
value
came
from,
so
it
was
done
through
a
formula
it
was
applied
across
all
destroyed
all
the
properties
that
had
destroyed
homes.
B
So
by
this
year,
based
on
what
we
saw
and
what
we
know,
which
is
best
information
available.
Again,
we
don't
know
everything.
These
properties
were
back
at
100
and
buildable,
so
if
that
is
not
true,
we
need
to
hear
from
you.
So
that's
how
we
arrived
at
the
50
in
2022.,
so
it
wasn't
arbitrary.
We
worked
with
a
formula
and
we
applied
it
across
all
departments.
C
So
this
is
going
to
be
our
last
question
of
the
night
and
then
after
this
question,
if
you
could
just
reiterate
the
facts
about
the
the
open
times
that
your
staff
is
going
to
be
in
person,
I
think
that
would
be
useful
sure.
So
last
question
and
you've
answered
it
before,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
residents
to
hear
who
has
the
ability
to
make
exemptions
from
the
law?
How
how
do
I
advocate
do
I
need
to
go
to
the
governor.
B
You
need
to
work
with
your
state
legislators.
They
are
the
policy
making
elected
officials.
The
county
also
makes
policies
so
County
Commissioners,
but
they
don't
have
a
broader.
They
don't
change
statutes,
they
change
County
policy.
So
if
you're
looking
for
statutory
change-
and
you
know
if
the
laws
have
changed,
my
office
will
abide
by
the
law
so
work
with
your
elected
officials,
so
whoever
they
are
in
your
area
work
with
them.
Let
them
know
your
concerns.
Let
them
know
your
ideas
and
I
know
that
there
have
been
things
taken.
B
This
legislative
session
I
think
believe
there
were
four
bills
passed
that
had
positive
impact
for
folks
in
the
Marshall
fire
area.
So
those
are
the
folks
to
work
with.
If
you
happen
to
know
the
governor,
you
can
always
talk
to
the
governor.
I,
don't
know
him
personally,
but
your
best
bet
is
to
work
with
the
legislature
to
the
legislator
or
to
write
a
bill
that
addresses
a
concern
for
you.
C
So
before
I
have
you
reiterate
the
details
of
the
session
tomorrow
and
next
week?
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight
in
answering
this
question,
question
and
answer,
and
the
information
presented,
I
think
commercial
Rock
for
co-hosting
now.
I
also
want
to
remind
everyone
that
there
will
recordings
of
this
will
be
put
on
the
Marshall
fire
Boulder
County
marshall
fire
website
as
soon
as
possible
in
the
next
couple
days.
A
reminder
about
this
presentation
will
go
out
in
the
Marshall
fire
newsletter
that
goes
out
every
Friday.
C
If
you
have
Marshall's
fight,
if
you're
a
martial
fire
impacted
resident-
and
you
have
questions
related
to
other
things-
Marshall
choir,
my
name
and
contact
information,
Katie
Arrington
assistant
recovery
manager-
is
on
the
Boulder
County
marshall
fire
website.
If
you
just
Google
Boulder
County
marshall,
fire
you'll
get
there.
My
name's
at
the
bottom
of
the
page.
Part
of
my
job
is
to
interact
with
residents
directly
and
help
them
figure
out
what
they
need
to
know.
C
B
So
we
will
be
at
the
Lewisville
Rec
Center
tomorrow:
May
25th
from
7
30
a.m,
to
5
p.m.
I'll

Would
note,
too,
that
you
know
throughout
this
recovery
we've
had
a
lot
of
support
from
across
the
community,
as
well
as
with
our
government
Partners
Katie,
certainly
from
Boulder
County,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
legislation,
a
lot
of
work
that
has
been
done
at
the
local
state
and
federal
level
to
try
to
help
as
much
as
possible.
The
governor
was
here
just
you
know
not
even
two
weeks
ago
signing
several
pieces
of
legislation
that
were
pushed
through
the
last
the
last
session
of
the
state
legislature.
A
There
is
an
opportunity
to
press
this.
We
do
have
you
know,
connections
with
state
and
local
government,
and
you
know
we
certainly
will
be
happy
to
work
with
the
assessor's
office
to
raise
some
of
those
concerns
where
you
know
you
are
obligated
by
legislation
to
you
know,
statue
to
assess
in
a
certain
way
and
if
you
know,
there's
any
suggestions
or
recommendations,
you
have
to
make
this
more
fair
to
the
community
based
on
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
and
what
you
understand.
A
I
think
that
those
are
things
that
we'd
certainly
like
to
see
push
forward
through
the
through
the
partners
that
we
have
absolutely
right.
Thank
you
everybody.
We
do
appreciate
it
I
appreciate
all
of
the
efforts
that
you're
doing
through
to
just
sort
of
get
through
this
so
stay
well
and
we'll
see
you
later
bye.
