Owner Occupancy Cards & Rental Affidavits

We will be mailing out pink and white Owner Occupancy Cards which need to be returned to us as soon as possible so that we can make sure each new owner of a residence in Elko County receives the lowest possible tax bill. Be sure to complete the cards and sign them and return them to us as soon as you receive them so we can process them in time to make sure the tax bills printed in July are correct. If you own rental properties, you may still be able to qualify for the maximum tax cap if the rent charged is in line with HUD standards as shown on the affidavits. Be sure and return them as soon as possible so that we can be sure you are paying the lowest possible tax amount on your rental properties.
