                           Assessor advises of reassessment process;
                                   Notices of Value to go out May 1             

 

The Broomfield Assessor Department is working on the 2011 reappraisal. Throughout Colorado, there is a state mandated reappraisal that occurs every odd numbered year. The new values reflect the real estate market sale activity that has occurred from July 2008 through June 30, 2010.

The Broomfield Assessor will mail Notices of Value to all real property owners by May 1 and to personal property owners by June 15. New values are to reflect market value of your property as of June 30, 2010. This Notice of Value is to inform owners of the new property value and give them the opportunity to visit with the Broomfield appraisal staff regarding your real property values. Some values may have changed due to new construction, addition or remodel to the existing structure, change in land status, or change in property use.

These values should represent market value as of June 30, 2010 based upon what existed on the property as of January 1, 2011. Sales from July 2008 through June 30, 2010 were used to establish this value.

The month of May is statutorily reserved for property owners to visit the assessor’s office and discuss any concerns they may have regarding the value placed on their property. Broomfield appraisal staff will be available and ready to answer your questions. It is our goal to help you understand the property tax process. We will help to explain your value, show you comparable sales in your area and go over your property characteristics with you.

Notices of Value (NOV) will be mailed to all property owners on May 1^st. PLEASE EXAMINE THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. Taxes paid in 2012 will be based upon this value.

The goal of all assessors is to establish fair and equitable values for all taxable property in the state. If there are any mistakes in your legal description, ownership, mailing address, property classification, property attributes, or if you want to question your value, please visit the Broomfield Assessor’s Department or mail in the bottom portion of your Notice of Valuation. By statue, this must be done on or before June 1, 2011 in order to have a review of your value.

The Broomfield Assessor’s Department is found in the west wing of the municipal building located at One DesCombes Drive in Broomfield. Personnel in the Central Records Office are prepared to assist and direct questions any taxpayer may have between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Please call 303-464-5819 if you have any questions or you wish to schedule an appointment.
