Where as national new home sales may be suffering the local Reno-Sparks Association of Realtors reports that 346 home sales closed in Washoe County.  This is a 49% increase in real estate transaction from the same month a year earlier.    http://chancegates.com/2010/02/27/new-home-sales-fall-to-record-low-level/ This completely contradicts the national new home sales entry   This is a great reason why when searching for answer on real estate that a person should watch the local markets not the national ones.

Washoe County Property Taxes are assessed once a year and cannot exceed property value. The way the assessor’s office determines the base price, to be taxed, of a person home is to take the value of the land add how much to replace the house new, and subtract deprecation. If this base price exceeds the property value a person can challenge the base price as long as the challenge is before the January deadline. The county assessor’s office has to send you the base price before the end of December. The assessor’s office phone number is (775)328-2233.

Example

A person receives a letter form the county assessor’s office and they base his house at $300,000. However this person just bought the house for $250,000 and made no improvements. Now the assessor’s office does not use Nevada real estate sales to determine the base price. However a person would have a great challenge because they could prove the base price exceeds the property’s value. If the challenge is not made before the January deadline, the homeowner will have to wait until next year to adjust the base rate.
