VALUATION
<br />Your property was valued as it existed on January I of the current year. The value of residential property is based on the market
<br />approach to value. Generally, the value of all other property is based on consideration of the market, cost, and income approaches to
<br />value. The appraisal data used to establish value is from the 18 -month period ending June 30, 2014, § 39-1-104(10.2)(a), C.R.S. If
<br />insufficient data existed during the 18 -month data gathering period, data from each preceding six-month period (up to a period of five
<br />years preceding June 30, 2014) may be utilized, § 39-1-104(10.2)(d), C.R.S.
<br />"Improvements" are defined as all structures, buildings, fixtures, fences, and water rights erected upon or affixed to land, whether or
<br />not title to such land has been acquired.
<br />Most property in Colorado is revalued every odd -numbered year § 39-1-104(10.2)(a), C.R.S.
