Dear Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners,

Our patience and hard work has come to fruition!  Our attorneys Suellen Fulstone, Norm Azevedo and Jessica Prunty did a superb job of presenting our case to the Court.   District Court Judge Drakulich listened and has issued a 57 page decision.  

Rather than paraphrase, here is the exact text from the Order.

Therefore, for good cause, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

•   (1)  The Complaint and Petition for Judicial Review is granted;

•   (2)  The State Board Equalization Order dated October 30, 2017 and served on November 30, 2017 is vacated in its entirety;

•   (3) The land values for Incline Village/Crystal Bay residential properties for the 2003-04, 2004-2005, 2005-2006 tax years were determined using valuations methods found to be unconstitutional and are void;

•   (4) The State Board is ordered to equalize the 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006 taxable values of all Incline Village/Crystal Bay residential properties to constitutional 2002-2003 levels, as factored;

•   (5) The Assessor is directed to replace unconstitutional 2003-2004, 2004-2005 and 2005- 2006 taxable land values for residential parcels, in Incline Village and Crystal Bay with 2002-2003 taxable land values and to apply the Commission approved factor of .08% to the 2002-2003 taxable land values for the 2005-2006 tax year, except that any residential property value reduced between 2002-2003 and any of the three subsequent tax years shall be reset at the lower of the two values;

•   (6) The Washoe County Assessor shall correct and adjust the tax rolls for 2003-2004, 2004- 2005, 2005-2006 tax years to reflect the replaced constitutional taxable values;

•   (7) The Washoe County Treasurer is directed to calculate the excess taxes paid by Incline Village/Crystal Bay residential property owner/taxpayers for the 2003-2004 tax year going forward and to refund those excess taxes to such owner/taxpayers with interest as required by law;

•    (8) The Washoe County Treasurer is further ordered to provide the Court within 90 days of the date of this order with a proposed schedule for the payment of refunds to Incline Village/Crystal Bay owner/taxpayers before the completion of one year from the date of this order. The Court shall review The Court shall review and modify and/or approve the proposed schedule and require the Treasurer to report monthly on its compliance with said schedule; and

•    (9) The adjudicated property values of the Bakst Plaintiffs/Petitioners along with those of all similarly situated Incline Village/Crystal Bay residential property owner/taxpayers with adjudicated land values for any and all of the three tax years 2003-2004, 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 are ratified and confirmed
