OSMP to start pilot parking fee program at three trailheads June 27
Jun 16th
Staring on Monday, June 27, all non-Boulder County registered vehicles will be subject to a $5/day fee for parking at these three trailheads located in the southern part of the OSMP system. An annual pass that costs $25 is available at OSMP offices located at 66 South Cherryvale Road.
Jim Reeder, Land and Visitor Services Division manager, said, “We want to emphasize a few points. First, this applies only to vehicles that are registered outside of Boulder County. Second, this program is the same as the parking fee program that has been in place for some time at trailheads on Flagstaff Mountain. And, third, it is a pilot program, meaning we will monitor it throughout the remainder of 2011 and then review it in early 2012.”
Reeder indicated that the options for the program at the end of the monitoring period are keeping the program, expanding it to include other trailheads or terminating the program.
Motorists will be asked to pay by cash or check, leaving their money in a locked box at the trailheads. All money raised as a part of this program will go to OSMP for system maintenance and possible future enhancements.

Property value appeals must be filed by June 1
May 26th
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Assessor’s Office would like to remind property owners that the deadline to appeal property values in Boulder County is this Wednesday, June 1.
Property owners can file an appeal if they believe their property has not been valued appropriately. In order to make the most accurate property value comparisons possible when filing an appeal, property owners are encouraged to review and include information about sales data specific to their market area for the two-year evaluation period of 2008-10. These sales data are available online at www.bouldercounty.org/live/property/pages/comp2011sales.aspx.
Notices of Value were mailed to all property owners in Boulder County on May 1. State statute requires all properties in Colorado be re-valued by county assessors in odd-numbered years. Actual property values for 2011 were based on market activity during the timeframe prior to June 30, 2010. These sales are time trended to that date. Per statutory requirements, these values do not represent market activity after June 30, 2010.
Appeals may be made by mail, online, by fax or in person. All appeals, regardless of valuation method, must be filed or postmarked by 11:59 p.m. on June 1. In-person appeals must be filed at the Assessor’s Office by 5 p.m. on June 1. An appeal form can be downloaded online or requested by phone. Additionally, property owners can file an e-appeal online without having to mail or fax a form to the Assessor’s Office.
