PRESS RELEASE                                                                                       

                                May 1, 2008 – Notices of Value

The Broomfield Assessor will mail Notices of Value on May 1 to all real property owners that have had value changes since the 2007 Reappraisal.  Assessment year 2008 is not a reappraisal year and most values will not have changed from last year.  Only those properties that have value changes due to new construction, addition or remodel to the existing structure, change in land status, or change in property use, will receive a notice. 

These values should represent market value as of June 30, 2006 based upon what existed on the property as of January 1, 2008.  Sales from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 were used to establish this value.

The month of May is reserved for property owners to visit the assessor 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 system.  We will help to explain your value, show you comparable sales in your area and go over your property characteristics with you.  All taxpayers were notified of their appeal rights on their 2008 tax bill that was mailed in January.

Notices of Value (NOV) will be mailed to all property owners on May 1st. PLEASE EXAMINE THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. Taxes paid in 2009 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 plan to visit the Broomfield Assessor's Division or mail in the bottom portion of your Notice of Valuation.  This must be done on or before June 2, 2008 in order to have a review of your value.

The Broomfield Assessor Department is located in the west wing of the City and County 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 wish to schedule an appointment.
