What's new at the Elko County Assessor's Office?: valuation notice

We would like to remind everyone that this time of year, as we approach the end of the calendar year, it is an especially busy time for the Assessor's office as it is time to prepare to close the tax roll. We ask your patience if you should happen to be connected to voice mail, and we will do our best to get back to you as quickly as we can. We hope to be closing the roll either just before or just after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Shortly thereafter, you will receive your valuation notices if you have had a change in assessed value since last year. If you have any questions about the valuation notice, please be sure to contact us and we will do our best to explain what has caused the change to value. For those of you who may wish to file to appear before the Board of Equalization regarding you values, you must have the completed form either returned to us, or post marked by January 15th of 2011. Questions? Give us a call and we'll do our best to answer them!

Owner Occupancy Verification Cards

We are mailing the Owner Occupancy Verification Cards so look for them in the mail if you have recently purchased a home. These cards help us to be sure we are applying the maximum allowable tax cap to each taxpayer's primary residence. If you receive a card that has a parcel number (APN) that begins with a TU, that will be for a mobile home. If you receive one for a parcel that is a rental property, be sure to return it so that we can send you a rent verification affidavit as it may be you will qualify for a higher tax cap if you rent amounts fall within HUD guidelines. If you have questions, be sure to call or email us and we will be glad to help you!
