Real Property Valuation: How is This Determined
I thought it would be interesting to explain to home owners how ones property tax is determined by the Washoe County Assessor:
When is the next tax year? Each tax year runs from July 1 to June 30.
What is taxable value? Taxable value is the full cash value (market value) of the land and the current replacement cost of buildings, etc. less statutory depreciation.
What is included in Buildings, etc.? The legal definition of buildings includes all structures affixed to the land. This includes items such as wells, septic systems, corrals, pavings, mobile home utility hook-ups, etc
What is assessed value? Per NRS 361.225, the assessed value is 35% of taxable value.
Is there any type of assistance available for individual taxpayers? Exemptions are available to bona fide Nevada residents meeting certain criteria such as: surviving Spouse, Veterans, disabled Veterans and Blind people. For more information call
775-328-2277
Why did my value increase by more than 3% or 5% ? Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 through 361.4735 provides for an abatement (cap) on taxes NOT on assessed value . To review “tax cap” statues please contact our office at 775-328-2277 or visit our website at www.washoecounty.us/assessor/cama
What is listed as NEW TO ROLL on this notice? Any new value due to new construction or a change in actual or authorized use.
What if I disagree with the taxable value? If you have any questions, please contact this office as soon as possible,preferably within 10 days, at 775-328-2233. If they are unable to resolve matters to your satisfaction, you may appeal to the County Board of Equalization. Such appeals must be filed at the Assessor’s Office by January 15, 2013.
What if I disagree with New To Roll, Remainder Values or the partial abatement(“Tax Cap”) statues?
You may petition (appeal to) the Assessor or review these abatement decisions pursuant to Nevada Revised Statue 361.4734. Please call our office at 775-328-2233 or visit our website at www.washoecounty.us/assessor/abateappeal for additional information and the filing deadline.
In the near future the secured tax roll list will be available at Washoe County Libraries, at the Assessors office and on their website: www.washoecounty.us/assessor before January 1st 2013
Dr. Peter Lim, Gynecologic Oncologist puts Reno on the Cutting Edge with Robotic Surgery.
Reno and Renown Regional Medical Center are proud to have one of the best gynecologic oncologist in the country, at their hospital. Dr. Peter Lim, Board Certified gynecologic oncologist, specializes in Pelvic & Minimal Invasive Surgery. In addition to this, Dr. Lim also specializes in the unique procedure of Da Vinci robotic system. Da Vinci allows him to perform more precise and less invasive procedures to minimize hospital stay for a faster recovery. Dr. Lim attended medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine and graduated in 1990 having 22 years experience.
On Friday November the 11th 2012, Dr. Lim and his team, who are recognized as one of the nations 5 gynecologic oncology “epicenters” for the da Vinci robotic surgery, which means they train their peers on their specific procedures, preformed a surgery which was watched by over 1,700 doctors who had gathered for the 41st annual American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists Global Conference on Minimally Invasive Gynecology in Las Vegas. Lim described what he was doing and why, giving the doctors his personal tips. This was roughly his 1,000 time that he sat at the computer console and controlled the robotic arms to perform a complex surgery. The robotic arms are an extension of his own appendages and act just like his fingers. Dime size incisions are made and the robotic instruments are inserted and then one arm operates a camera, while the other two had tips that Lim control’s to cut, move and replace tissues.
What are the advantages of doing surgery this way? They make surgery faster, less invasive and causing less pain and scarring, the body is magnified and the procedure also decreases the risks for complication. Patients use less painkillers and 80 to 90 percent recover within three to four weeks. Lim’ said, ” This technology is truly reflective of what Renown stands for…it’s the most cutting edge of surgical techniques.”
Renown has been offering da Vinci robotic surgeries since 2008, being the first hospital in Northern Nevada to offer this technology. Earlier this year, the hospital upgraded to a da Vinci SI model, which features an enhanced surgeon console and 3-D capabilities. This makes it easier for the surgeon to dissect fine tissue and avoid cutting blood vessels.

FALL GARDENING IN MONTREUX AND THE SURROUNDING AREA
There is no doubt in my mind that this fall has been very mild and pleasant, however the time has now come for us to prepare our gardens and yards for the winter months to come.
In most climate zones, Fall is actually a better time of year than even spring to plant or transplant trees, shrubs, and many other perennial plants. The soil tends to be warmer which promotes root growth, and — unlike with spring planting — there’s not the potential of a long, hot, dry summer facing the young upstarts. It’s also the time of year when you can save a bushel of cash on gardening equipment and nursery stock. If you don’t already have one, you definitely want to start a compost pile in the Fall to provide a receptacle for all the leaves and other yard debris you should rake up before winter sets in. The best medicine for a garden is organic matter and composts heaps are the answer. Nothing in my kitchen that is organic is thrown away, everything goes into the compost heap, watered and turned regularly with great results in the spring. If there are any problems plants infested with insects, mildew or other pests, remove the damaged material and throw it away rather than putting them in the compost heap. Never add meat, fish or dog waste into your compost pile.
In addition to being the best time to plant most springtime flowering bulbs (e.g. tulips, daffodils, crocuses, irises, etc.) as well as trees and shrubs, many perennial plants and vegetables can be divided in the Fall. Dividing most perennials – once they’re sufficiently mature – will both make them healthier and create multiple plants out of a single one, all for the cost of nothing more than a little light labor. Do your research in advance to determine which types of perennials should be divided in the Fall and the best methods for doing so. In general, perennials should first be thoroughly watered and the entire plant dug out of the ground, with its root ball intact. The root ball should then be separated into smaller plants by pulling it apart with a pitch fork or, in some cases, even cutting it apart with a shovel or other sharp tool. The smaller plants should then be immediately replanted in the ground and watered again.
Most people love garlic and now is the time to plant them. Place healthy, good sized certified disease free cloves about 2 inches deep with the pointy end up, cover with soil and a thin layer of straw. During the winter months the roots will start developing and be ready to grow in the spring. Generally after my last mowing of the lawn when I leave the clippings on the grass I fertilize one last time before winter arrives. Good luck have fun and see the results in Spring.
Last but not least for the Montreux,Galena and surrounding are I use the website noaa Galena and it gives you the correct temperatures for our region.
RENO ACES BASEBALL TEAM CHAMPION OF TRIPE-A,PCL
Once again Reno “The Biggest little city in the World,” puts itself on the map.
In Durham N.C. on September 18th 2012 they won the championship just after 4 seasons against the Pawtucket Red Sox. A.J. Pollock won the most valuable player award for the Triple-A national championship game and remark that, ”This was a great experience and that the entire team came together to make this happen.” Both Pollock and first baseman Mike Jacobs were called up to the majors by the Diamondbacks.
Aces manger Brett Butler was thrilled to win, this being his first time. He had won a National League title in 1989 but had never been a part of the last team standing. The Aces moved from Tucson, Ariz., in 2009. Stuart Katzoff said,” It is great to have been in business only four years in Reno and already win a championship.” Stuart Katzoff, is the managing partner who owns the Aces with his father Jerry and Indiana Pacers owner Herb Simon. “As old and established as Triple-A is, this is pretty special. This means everything to us. We always wanted to provide affordable entertainment in Reno, but affordable family entertainment also means winning and we love to win. The cherry on top is to win a championship and be part of a great organization that wins.”
Fans welcomed home the players on Wednesday morning. Archie the team’s mascot, posed with the championship trophies and fans got their shot as well.
Opening Day 2013 will start by the Triple-A championship trophy being officially present to the city of Reno fortunate enough to host the best minor leagues in baseball. Don’t wait to get your pass… act now.

“Think Locally” Promotes spending in Reno-Sparks
One does not realize how far-reaching local business has on a community. Thinking Locally affects the entire Nevada population, Tax’s, employment and more. Len Stevens, executive director of The Chamber, said “Think Local” can benefit economic development as well. It’s not just about developing new jobs but showing camaraderie. It shows togetherness. That’s what attracts business,” he said.
The Reno-Sparks area is encouraging it’s local population to support local business’s which will then create more jobs locally and benefit the entire area. Studies have shown that by spending 10 percent more locally can create as many as 2,500 jobs and have a $350 million impact annually. The chain re-action begins and tax revenues grow. This is truly a win win situation.
Many of us have chosen to live in this area for a multitude of reasons, the weather, tax friendly, outdoor activities, clean air etc. I think now is the time for us to give back a little and support our local community. The gaming industry can no longer sustain the economy or Northern Nevada. With Reno-Sparks excellent location to the West, our international airport and our real estate prices becoming more realistic it is a great place to reside.
If each one of us makes the effort to spend more locally, I for instance support the Farmers Market’s each summer and only support the local farmers, it will create more jobs and an economy that will improve.
