02:50 PM -- SB 14-080

Representative Fields, sponsor, presented Senate Bill 14-080, concerning the elimination of the list of certain additional qualifications that apply to property valuation appeal arbitrators. Under current law, each county clerk and recorder maintains a list of arbitrators who are qualified to take appeals from a county board of equalization's property valuation decisions. In addition to possessing experience in property taxation and holding a Colorado real estate appraiser license, individuals on the list must be a legal professional, former county assessor, real estate broker, or a member of the Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. This bill simplifies the qualifications for individuals to be listed as an arbitrator in property valuation cases. To serve as an arbitrator, the individual must be experienced in property taxation and hold a Colorado real estate appraiser license, but is not required to possess any additional qualifications. Representative Fields distributed a fact sheet on the bill (Attachment D) and responded to questions from the committee.
