                  <P><SPAN class=body>Those behind the property tax revolt 
                  scored a victory Monday in their quest to roll back recent 
                  increases in assessed value.<BR><BR>Nevada's State Board of 
                  Equalization voted to uphold the Washoe County Board of 
                  Equalization's decision to decrease the Incline Village 
                  lakefront properties assessed value by 10 percent.<BR><BR>It's 
                  a significant accomplishment in restoring equal property tax 
                  representation in Incline Village.<BR><BR>"The decision 
                  illustrates that Incline property taxes are not increasing as 
                  fast as the county assessor thinks," said Ted Harris, who 
                  chairs the taxation committee for the Village League to Save 
                  Incline Assets, the group behind the tax revolt.<BR><BR>County 
                  senior appraiser Chris Mumm said the county will not appeal 
                  the decision.<BR><BR>"You win some and you lose some. The 
                  state looked at our data and compared to others' data and made 
                  their decision. We try to do what is right for all the 
                  taxpayers in Washoe County. It just didn't work out the way we 
                  thought it should have," said Mumm, who has worked for the 
                  assessor's office for 27 years. "The state based its decision 
                  on the sluggish economy and because the current trend in the 
                  housing market showed that property up there is not going up 
                  in value."<BR><BR>A total of 126 properties received the 
                  immediate 10 percent reprieve. Mumm said the county will be 
                  out about $522,766 in tax revenues.<BR><BR>"A lot of lakefront 
                  owners have had their property (market) value stay the same 
                  and some of them have gone down in value," Harris said. "They 
                  appealed their property tax bills and the state took 
                  notice."<BR><BR>Property taxes for Incline residents have 
                  skyrocketed during the past 12 years and residents have 
                  incurred a 15.6 percent compound increase, Harris 
                  said.<BR><BR>According to Harris, the average increase for the 
                  last fiscal year is 29 percent, and in some cases, people's 
                  tax bills have risen 400 percent. One Crystal Bay residence 
                  had its annual property tax jump from $6,900 to more than 
                  $30,000, Harris said. Some lakefront owners have being paying 
                  $20,000 a month in property tax.<BR><BR>The committee blames 
                  an aggressive county assessor's office for making Incline 
                  residents pay high tax rates. The office uses three criteria 
                  to determine assessed value which the committee disputes: time 
                  value adjustments, tear down values and view 
                  classifications.<BR><BR>"These are three ways to figure 
                  property tax which are not used in the rest of Washoe County 
                  and the state of Nevada," Harris said. "That is forbidden by 
                  law."<BR><BR>"It pays to work in a group," committee board 
                  member Wayne Fischer said. "If we would have tried to fight 
                  this as individuals, we would not have accomplished what we 
                  have. It's time to get back our rights. We shouldn't have to 
                  pay two to three times more than what we should. Just because 
                  we live in a beautiful area doesn't mean we can be taken 
                  advantage of."<BR><BR>The next step in the battle against the 
                  state happens today in Carson City. Committee members will 
                  appear in front of the Nevada Department of Taxation to 
                  discuss changing a series of regulations that would affect how 
                  Incline property owners are taxed. The meeting is the second 
                  of six and will focus on two or three proposed regulations 
                  used to govern property taxes in the state. The workshops are 
                  held to refine six or seven regulations, Harris 
                  said.<BR><BR>Harris said at the first workshop, the committee 
                  opposed the basis of the initial changes in the regulations
