Board denies two abatement petitions, approves one refund; details and tallies
Summary
At the meeting the board denied abatements for case 26‑14 (Paulding) and 26‑13 (Goffman) after assessor testimony; it approved case 26‑15 (Levine) and ordered refunds for 2024 and 2025.
The Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners decided three property tax petitions during the meeting.
1) Case 26‑14 (June Paulding): Assessor Donna G. presented comparable sales and recommended denial. The petitioner argued the property is a historic (1882) cabin and that their taxes rose sharply; commissioners reviewed condition and statutory comparables. Commissioner George Marlin moved to deny the petition; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
2) Case 26‑13 (Bart Goffman): Assessor presented commercial comparables for 1313 Idaho Street and recommended denial. Owner Bart Goffman testified about purchase timing and reduced winter revenue. Following discussion, a motion to deny the petition passed.
3) Case 26‑15 (Richard Levine): Assessor corrected square footage and recommended refunds. The board approved the assessor’s recommendation and ordered refunds pro rata to jurisdictions: 2024 refund $175.72 and 2025 refund $403.68.
Votes: motions were moved and seconded on the record; the board voted orally in favor for each motion. No abstentions were recorded in the public transcript.
The decisions reflect application of state statutory comparables and county assessment practice described by the assessor.
