PROPERTY OWNERS ALERT # 25


Saturday, August 23, 2003

TO: Incline Village/Crystal Bay Property Owners
FROM: The Village League to Save Incline Assets, Inc.
SUBJECT: Workshop Department of Taxation

Dear Property Owner,

Coming up on Monday August 25th the Department of Taxation will be holding 
a workshop on their "draft" revisions of the regulations relating to the 
procedures the assessor must follow in determining the taxable value of 
your property. This is a very important workshop because this appears to be 
an attempt by the Department of Taxation to revise, broaden, and ratify, 
after the fact, the illegal methods the Washoe County Assessor has been 
using to appraise properties in Incline and Crystal Bay.

If the Department of Taxation succeeds in approving these administrative 
changes and further submitting these rule changes to the State Tax 
Commission, our Attorney believes these new regulations would severely 
impact and undermine our efforts to argue our grievances to the State Tax 
Commission and to the District Court.

<http://www.nevadapropertytaxrevolt.org/Aug22LtrAzevedo.html>Click<http://www.nevadapropertytaxrevolt.org/Aug22LtrAzevedo.html> 
here to read our Attorneys letter to the Director of the Department of 
Taxation, citing the issues that we disagree with. In addition to Norm's 
letter to the Director he will be attending this workshop to underscore the 
issues we believe are inconsistent with existing law. In addition, 
<http://www.nevadapropertytaxrevolt.org/Aug22LtrAzevedo.html>click<http://www.nevadapropertytaxrevolt.org/Aug22LtrAzevedo.html> 
here to read the text of the "draft" revisions of the Administrative 
Regulations pertaining to NAC 361.00. We have highlighted the sections 
having an impact on Incline Village and Crystal Bay.

It is becoming apparent there is great concern in the bureaucracy that our 
challenge to these illegal methods of appraising properties might have 
merit and the fear is that we might succeed in discrediting the assessor's 
methods.

We need a huge turn out of property owners (two or three hundred) in 
Incline and Crystal Bay to support Norm and to demonstrate to the 
Department that our grievances are supported by a large number of IV/CB 
property owners. Norm will be "driving the truck" during this workshop and 
he will have designated three or four citizens to make a short statement on 
each of the issues he will argue.

In addition to Norm's presentation we intend to submit copies of our 
"Declaration of Property Tax Protest" that now contain over 2,000 signatures.

We really need your support on this, pleases take the time to make the 
short to trip to Carson City on Monday afternoon.
