NPTR: Alert 162: The Plot Thickens!

[Wayne Fischer]

*THE PLOT THICKENS!*

*ALERT:* #162
*DATE:* January 30, 2008
*TO:* Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners
*FROM:* Village League Tax Revolt Committee

*Dear Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Tax Protesters,*

We know that many of you have voiced concerns about exactly what you 
should be preparing for the appeal of the assessed value of your 
property.  Hopefully, this Alert will give you guidance as to what to do 
next.

Hearings are now being scheduled for appearances by Petitioners to 
present their appeals before the Washoe County Board of Equalization.  
If you have successfully filed a *Petition for Review *prior to the 
January 15th deadline, and have NOT filed a Withdrawal Petition, you 
should soon be receiving your Notice of Hearing, at least 10 days before 
the designated date.

Please click on 
www.nevadapropertytaxrevolt.org/08/Letter-to-CBOE-2008-09.pdf to access 
the letter that you should immediately sign and mail to the Office of 
the Washoe County Clerk if your Petition for Review has been filed and 
accepted by the County.

Send all documentation to:

*Washoe County Clerk*
P.O. Box 30083
Reno, NV 89520

The Village League has no way of knowing when your hearings will be 
scheduled or which of you will be able or unable to attend. The letter 
referenced above will assure you that your concerns about your property 
assessment will become part of your "record" for further appeal if 
necessary. If you are aggrieved by the decision of the Washoe County 
Board of Equalization and wish to appeal your case further to the State 
Board of Equalization, there *MUST *be a record of the points that you 
presented before the County Board of Equalization.

You do not have to attend the hearing in order for your "record" to be 
included in your file.  Any documents that you may have received from 
the County Assessor, or any letters that you may have written, asking 
for information or expressing your concerns about the amount of your 
assessment or any errors made in calculating your values that you wished 
to have addressed, will be included in your hearing's documentation.

Please remember to keep copies of everything that you include in your 
communication(s), as well as the date of your mailing(s).

Attorney Fulstone has filed 6 "Class" Petitions to the Washoe County 
Board of Equalization which include all properties in the Incline 
Village and Crystal Bay area.  Those Petitions strictly address the 
legal aspects of appraisal techniques used by the Assessor that are 
being challenged by the taxpayers.

Keep watching your emails.  There will be more Alerts coming your way!!

Sincerely,


*Maryanne Ingemanson,* President
