Other data was printed out such as the owner's name and

assessed valuation of land but this was generally of

little value.

One of the difficulties in the later use of the

structural value data rested with the inability to

retrieve only those parcels which were affected by

flooding. Although the assessor's files can be assessed

on a parcel by parcel basis, the time involved in deter-

mining and keypunching the permanent parcel number was

prohibitive. Therefore, each parcel in a given quarter

section was printed out, thus placing the burden of

parcel identification on the analysts. Although this was

a less costly procedure than preselection of parcels, it

was a burdensome, time consuming task particularly in the

densely developed areas.

All structure values from the County Assessor's

records were divided by 0.3 to yield the actual value

because property under Colorado law is assessed at 30%

of actual value.

B. Content Data - Residential

In Colorado personal property is no longer assessed,

and good sources of data on value of contents of resi-

dential units do not exist locally. The cost of develop-

ing contents cost data by survey of individual selling
