<b>Dear Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners,<br><br>
</b>This is a friendly reminder to let you all know that tomorrow’s
Washoe County Board of Equalization Hearing <font size=4><b>has been
canceled</b></font>. The hearing was to have taken place at the
Reno-Sparks Convention Center, starting at 9:00 AM, tomorrow
morning.<br><br>
<br>
<font size=5 color="#FF0000"><b>Why was the Hearing Canceled?<br><br>
</b></font>As Maryanne announced on Saturday, the Nevada Supreme Court
knows how to do the right thing. They stopped (granted a stay) the
illegal hearing that the State Board of Equalization and the Washoe
County Assessors office wanted to happen. Both entities were hoping
that the Washoe County Board of Equalization would reverse their decision
of March 8, 2006.<br><br>
The WCBOE voted to roll-back all personal property land values for the
06/07 tax year to the taxable land values established for the 02/03 tax
year, provided the Nevada Supreme Court ruled favorably on the property
tax case. It took 10 months for the NV Supreme Court to rule and it
was favorable.<br><br>
The Washoe County Assessors office could have appealed the WCBOE decision
last year, but chose not to. Since the NV Supreme Court ruled in
our favor, the Assessor tried to illegally re-open the 06/07
hearing. Time had expired. It was too late - and the NV
Supreme Court agreed. <br><br>
Stay tuned for more alerts. This is not over yet. The when
and how of the roll-back of our property taxes is yet to be
accomplished. Maryanne will let you know via future alerts as
events unfold.<br><br>
