Boulder County imposes liens up to $22,950 on individual properties |
| On November 5th, County Ballot Issue 5C failed. County residents voted overwhelming against any new taxes for subdivision road maintenance. In response on November 21st, the County Commissioners unilaterally imposed a LID (Local Improvement District) to do exactly the same thing – ignoring the vote of the people.AS A RESULT, YOU HAVE NOW BEEN ASSESSED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHICH ARE DUE AND PAYABLE TO THE COUNTY ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 23rd. AND A LIEN HAS BEEN PLACED ON YOUR PROPERTY.

| And it gets worse. For those of you who think you still live in America and can’t believe this is happening, trust us, everything we are about to tell you is true.
1) The County Commissioners assessed your property on November 21, 2013. 2) This amount is Due and Payable within 30 days (December 23, 2013). 3) If you DO NOT pay your assessment in full within 30 days, you will lose ALL YOUR INDIVIDUAL LEGAL RIGHTS to question, complain, or challenge the LID or any actions of the County Commissioners regarding the LID. 4) You WILL NOT receive a bill from the county for this assessment until you get your normal Property Tax Notice next year. The county is hoping you will do nothing until then – thus giving up all your legal rights without even knowing it. 6) The County has placed a lien on your property with the County Assessor for the full amount of the lien. How this will impact buyers and sellers is unknown. |

What are your options?
|
|
1) Do nothing until you get your Property Tax Bill next year. It will include an amount for the LID of 1/15th of your total assessment. You will have a lien on your property for the unpaid balance. You will have given up any legal rights in this matter as mentioned above. You will continue to be billed 1/15th of your total assessment every year for the next 15 years. 2) Pay your Assessment in full on or before December 23rd. This eliminates the lien on your property and preserves all your legal rights. 3) Become a PLAINTIFF. Join our lawsuit against the commissioners. To become a plaintiff all you need to do is submit your name, address, phone number, email and circumstances (Describe your physical situation, i.e.corner lot, cul-de-sac, etc..). Does your road serve a public purpose (accesses a school, church, Open Space trailhead, etc.). Describe the condition of your road and your subdivision roads in general. Describe any work you know has been done (ever) and when, by the county on your subdivision roads.) to SubdivisionRoads@comcast.net. 4) CONTRIBUTE to BoCo FIRM to help fight this travesty of justice and curb local government run amuck!
