size=-1><B>ALERT:</B> #61<BR><B>DATE:</B> December 6, 2004<BR><B>TO:</B>
Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners<BR><B>FROM:</B> Nevada
Property Tax Revolt Committee</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1><B>Dear
Fellow Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners,</B></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>This
letter is to alert you of two situations. <B>First,</B> the Village League
has discovered that the Assessor is going to increase land values for
every property owner in Incline Village and Crystal Bay by 8%. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular
size=-1><B>Second,</B> we are preparing to oppose this action, which we
feel is incorrect and illegal, at the Washoe County Board of Equalization,
the State Board of Equalization; and if necessary, to Judicial Review.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>This 8%
increase applies to every property in Incline Village and Crystal Bay; so,
to once again file 1,500 individual appeals, as we did last year, would be
redundant. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>The
basis for appeals this year is that this 8% increase, as calculated by the
assessor, is severely flawed, has used faulty and invalid comparable
sales, has not applied the “new” regulations in appraising these
comparable sales, and furthermore is grossly out of equalization within
IV/CB and areas outside of IV/CB. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>We
believed the best and most efficient way to specifically challenge this
increase is to hire professional representation to present appeals on
behalf of every property owner in IV/CB, as a group, for whomever may wish
to join as appellants. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>The
Village League has engaged the services of a highly respected attorney,
who is very familiar with the IV/CB area and has previously argued
successful appeals for a number of IV/CB property owners. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>If you
feel that you have additional problems with your “taxable value” property
assessment, feel free to file your own “Petition for Appeal”, or select an
Agent of your choice.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular
size=-1>However, we urge you to join The Village League in this mass
appeal. All you need to do is:</FONT></P>
