January 28, 2009. On January 26, 2009 the Washoe County Board of Equalization approved the Assessor¢s recommendation of a 15% reduction to all taxable land values established on the 2009/10 property tax roll, as published by the Assessor, with the exception of those properties whose values are otherwise set by statute or regulation. </span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span
style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">As of today, all land values have been adjusted in the Assessor¢s database and can be searched on the County¢s website through the Real Property Assessment Data page, www.washoecounty.us/assessor/cama/. The webpage can be searched by entering the Assessor Parcel Number (APN), or by the property address. The new value is identified as the Taxable Land Value and can also be seen on the Taxable Value History page, identified as 2009 BC15. Taxpayers can visit this website to see their adjusted values, or call the Assessor¢s Office at 328-2233 for this information.</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">This approved reduction is a result of continued declines in the Washoe County real estate market. Based on third and
fourth quarter 2008 real estate sales, it is apparent that Washoe County is experiencing a continued decline in sale prices warranting reductions in taxable land values across the county.</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">Kathy Carter </span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">Community Relations Director </span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">Washoe County </span><br style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">P.O.
