Your tax bill that you receive in July 2015 will be based on this value. The unsecured tax roll is collected throughout the year, therefore does not appear here. The valuations are based upon appraisals made in accordance with the law and are for the information of the taxpayers. The Nevada Department of Taxation is now billing, collecting and distributing all taxes for centrally assessed properties which have been placed on the Central Assessment Roll. Nevada Revised Statutes 361.225 requires that property be assessed at 35% of taxable value, which is determined in accordance with NRS 361.227. This list is published as required by NRS 361.300. All property in Pershing County is reappraised every 5 years. Additional appraisals may occur when improvements are added or new structures are built. The area that was reappraised for the 2015-2016 was various ranches thoughout Pershing County. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION In 2005, the Nevada State Legislature passed a law to provide property tax relief. AB 489 signed into law on April 6, 2005, provides a partial abatement of taxes by applying a 3% cap on the tax bill of the owner s primary residence and a higher cap on the tax bill of other properties. Some rental dwellings may also qualify for a 3% cap on the tax bill. The only property that will not be subject to a tax cap will be property that is new to the tax roll this year such as new parcels and/or new construction and parcels with a change in use. Property owners who believe that the market value of their property is less than the taxable value stated should contact the Assessor s Office. The Assessor or her staff will discuss your appraisal with you. If you are in disagreement, you may file a petition with the County Board of Equalization. The filing of the petition is accomplished by completing a form that is available in the Assessor s Office. The filing deadline is January 15, 2015. An appearance will be scheduled before the County Board of Equalization, which will meet in February of 2015. Persons not satisfied with the decision of the County Board of Equalization may file a further appeal to the State Board of Equalization NO LATER than March 10th, 2015.
