week most of us received the Washoe County Assessor's annual "Christmas
Card." Those cards report the results of your property's annual
appraisal and assessment. There is both good news and less good news.
Unless you've done some sort of remodel or upgrade, or your home is older
than 50 years, your improvement assessments (Buildings, etc) should have
continued downward by a few percent. On the other hand, land values have
finally started to rise in response to a recovering market. How much
varies greatly by neighborhood. Rising assessments mean rising property taxes.
So it is crucial that reappraisals be done in accordance with the law using
data reflecting reality and proper methods. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA"> </span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA">To learn
more we accepted an invitation to meet with our assessor Mike Clark and his
staff. We spent nearly a half-day going over the details of their
assessments for all of Incline Village's and Crystal Bay's twenty one
neighborhoods. We listened to the details of how each neighborhood's land
values were determined, testing for the use of inappropriate data or procedures.
The contrast between today's assessments and past results was striking in
many respects. The assessor's work was characterized by careful and
thoughtful examination of residence sales, conservatism, thoroughness, and
openness to adjustment. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA"> </span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA">After the
financial crisis property land values dropped significantly and appraised
values have remained down for most Incline Village and Crystal Bay properties
over the past 3 years. Some have been unchanged even longer, going back 5
years. Values have started to trend up over 2015/16 in certain markets
areas within our community. Consequently the appraisal staff needed to
adjust some, but not all, assessments upwards. Of the 21 neighborhoods some 30%
saw no change in their land assessments. But the remaining neighborhoods
experienced land assessment increases anywhere from 6% to 20%.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA"> </span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA">Thankfully
Nevada caps increases of property taxes. Irrespective of how much your
assessment increased on your qualified primary residence the actual tax
increase is limited to 3% per year.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA"> </span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in -0.25in 0.0001pt -4.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA">We were
encouraged that the appraisal process was well conducted. But that doesn't rule
out errors. If you think your assessment is wrong you should immediately
contact the Washoe County Assessor's office and speak to the appraiser who
performed your assessment. We forecast that they will be responsive and
will quickly resolve any issue a property owner might have. Recall that
last year, of the 91 real property appeals throughout the entire County, about
85% were resolved to the satisfaction of both owners and the assessor, largely
eliminating appearances before the County Board of Equalization. Incline
Village residents who contact the Assessor will likely end up talking to
Michael Gonzales or Jane Tung who did much of the leg work in our area.
The Assessor's office phone number is (775) 328-2233.</span></b><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-fareast-language:JA"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
