body
Pursuant to C.R.S. § 39-1-113(1), the Board may enter decisions on abatement petitions after a hearing is had thereon. The Board has appointed an independent referee who recently conducted hearings on the Board’s behalf, made certain findings, and issued recommendations on the abatement petitions summarized on the following page for entry of the Board’s final decision.
Discussion:
These abatement recommendations were issued by the Board’s referee after considering the evidence and information presented at the hearings by or on behalf of the petitioners and the County Assessor.
Alternatives:
The Board may either accept or reject the referee’s recommendations in issuing its final decision.
Fiscal Impact:
If any abatement is approved, a portion of the taxes collected on the property for which an abatement has been approved will need to be reduced and/or refunded if already paid, along with the payment of statutory interest on the refunded amount as specified in C.R.S. § 39-10-114.
