PROPERTY TAXES IN NEVADA

In Nevada, property taxes are levied by local governments, such as counties and cities, as well as by special districts, such as school districts. The property tax rate in Nevada is set by these entities and is typically expressed as a percentage of the assessed value of a property. In Nevada, the property tax rate is generally lower than in many other states, which helps to keep property tax bills low for homeowners.

One of the main reasons for the low property tax rate in Nevada is the state's constitution and laws that limit the amount of property tax revenue that local governments can collect. Nevada's constitution, for example, caps the property tax rate at 1.25% of assessed value for most property, and limits the growth of property tax revenues to 3% per year, unless voter approved. This cap on the property tax rate helps to keep property tax bills low, even as property values increase.

Another reason for the low property taxes in Nevada is the state's tax structure. Nevada has no state income tax, which means that the state relies more heavily on other forms of revenue, such as sales taxes, to fund its operations. This can make it easier for local governments to keep property tax rates low, since they are not competing with the state for revenue. Additionally, Nevada has a relatively low overall tax burden compared to other states, which also helps to keep property taxes low.

Finally, Nevada's economy is driven by tourism and service industries, as well as by the construction and development of new housing and commercial properties, which may also contribute to the lower property taxes. The state government and local entities may use this revenue to attract and retain businesses and residents.

In summary, property taxes are generally low in Nevada due to a combination of constitutional and statutory caps on property tax rates, the state's tax structure, low overall tax burden, and the economy driven by tourism and real estate development.

INCLINE VILLAGE, NEVADA - LOW PROPERTY TAXES NO STATE INCOME TAX


Nevada Ownership Tax Advantages

Tax Advantages of Nevada Ownership
The State of Nevada offers one of the most tax and business friendly environments of any state. CPA's, tax advisers, and asset protection specialists have recognized the benefits of calling Nevada home for years.
Sixteen Reasons to become a Nevada Resident

No corporate income tax
No gross receipts tax
No franchise tax
No inventory tax
No tax on issuance of corporate shares
No requirements of shareholders & directors to live in Nevada
No tax on sale or transfer of shares

Low property taxes
Business friendly environment

Privacy is yours in Nevada
If you have ever been audited by our friends at the IRS, you understand the expense and hassle of doing business with them.The State of Nevada is the only state in the nation that does not share information with the IRS. It has been noted by tax professionals that many audits are derived because information shared by the states with the IRS does not match up.

You privacy is further valued by the State of Nevada because they do not require a registration of stockholders. Your stockholders stay anonymous and are protected because their names do not show up on every website and list about your corporation.

"Bearer Shares" used to be a very common tool for promoting and expanding your business. In today's wired world, bureaucrats and tax agencies want to know everything about everyone so that they can ensure thorough collection of tax revenues. The advantage to Bearer Shares is that they are owned by whoever physically owns the stock/share and this information is kept between the corporation and the owner of the shares.

Assets held within a Nevada corporation are not required to be disclosed. Most states not only require disclosure of assets, they also tax you on those assets.

Lastly, your attorney can become the corporation's Officer and Director with you being the sole shareholder, thus almost ensuring complete anonymity.

Saving Money on Taxes
So you might be asking yourself, if Nevada does not tax corporate profits, or tax franchises or even tax personal income, how do they pay the bills? One word, gaming. The revenues Nevada realizes because of gaming is significant enough to fund most government operations.
Nevada also wants your business. Nevada has realized that if they are friendly to businesses, this benefits the businesses, the employees and the state. Yes there is a state that actually believes in a "Win-Win" mentality, and Nevada makes it clear that that is their intention.

How to take advantage of Nevada's tax benefitsThere are two ways to reap Nevada's freedom from taxes. First is to start a corporation for your business' tax relief. Consult a Nevada CPA or legal professional for more detailed information on incorporating your business in Nevada.

As an individual, you will need to become a resident of the state. Individuals who are "domiciled" in Nevada and become Nevada residents will generally escape state taxation of their income, except for income arising from sources within another state. Again, check with your financial professional on income derived in other states. Even if part of your income has to be taxed in other states, you may still see a reduction in your overall tax liability.

Test for ResidencyVarious factors are considered in determining whether a taxpayer has met Nevada's residency criteria.
How long are you physically present in Nevada during the year?
Where do you have sources of income?
Where are you registered to vote?
Where do you own a house?
Where do you claim the homeowner’s exemption?
Where is your driver’s license issued?
Where are your closest business contacts, including clubs?
Where are your vehicles are registered?
Where your minor children attend school, and whether you paid resident or non-resident tuition.
Which state has jurisdiction in the administration of your wills and trusts?
Where have you obtained a homestead exemption?
Where do you maintain a safety deposit boxes?
Where do you file an affidavit of domicile?
Where do you own a cemetery plot?

These 6 investment newsletters have delivered top returns in good stock markets and bad - MarketWatch

These 6 investment newsletters have delivered top returns in good stock markets and bad - MarketWatch:



So what’s the solution for skittish investors? One option is to only follow managers who have historically produced above-average performance in both up- and down markets. Few managers satisfy these dual criteria, but those who do tend to have both good returns and low risk — just the kind of manager that anxious investors are more likely to follow through thick and thin.
Each year for two decades I have compiled a list of investment newsletter editors who meet these dual criteria; I call it my Investment Newsletter Honor Roll.
On average, the model portfolios of the Honor Roll newsletters have been 25% less risky than the overall stock market, as measured by the volatility of their returns — even as they’ve also outperformed the newsletters that did not make my Honor Roll by 2.7 percentage points per year over the last decade.
It’s been a winning combination.
Currently, just six newsletters among those I monitor make the Honor Roll:
With that said, I should note that while the Honor Roll newsletters have outperformed the typical service not on the Honor Roll, they on average have not outperformed a broad stock-market index fund. But that may not be a reason to shun them. It’s only when these managers’ returns are analyzed in light of their reduced risk that their value is appreciated.
In fact, an index fund may well be an inappropriate standard against which to judge these newsletters, since few investors are actually willing to stick with an index fund through a bear market. As Claude Erb, a former fixed-income and commodities manager at mutual-fund firm TCW Group, put it to me in an email: “The people who can truly stomach the volatility of a 100% stock portfolio are either catatonic or dead.”

Lake Tahoe’s Real Estate Market Has Strong October - Mansion Global

Tahoe’s most exclusive real estate is located on the waterfront, which also experienced an uptick in sales in October compared to a year ago. Four multi-million-dollar lakefront properties closed in October and five were in contract, compared to just two closings last year and two in contract.

The median price for a lakefront home (on either the California or Nevada side) was just under $4 million.

The first three quarters of 2017 saw an unexpected decrease in overall sales that led some to think the market was headed for a slowdown. October figures have helped assuage those fears.

“The strong October numbers signal the Tahoe real estate is not pulling back as some have suggested,” said Bill Dietz, principal broker of Tahoe Luxury Properties, in the report. He said he expects strong sales to continue through the end of the year.

U.S. new home sales fall to seven-month low By Reuters


By Lucia Mutikani

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New U.S. single-family home sales unexpectedly fell in July, dropping to their lowest in seven months, which could raise concerns of a slowdown in the housing market recovery.

The Commerce Department said on Wednesday new home sales

tumbled 9.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 571,000 units last month, the lowest level since December 2016. The percentage drop was the largest since August 2016 and confounded economists' expectations for a 0.3 percent gain.

June's sales pace was revised up to 630,000 units from the previously reported 610,000 units. Home sales in May also were not as weak as previously reported, taking some of the sting from July's report.

New home sales, which account for 9.4 percent of overall housing sales, are volatile month-to-month and are drawn from building permits. Still, sales declined 8.9 percent on a year-on-year basis.

Coming on the heel of data this month showing a plunge in both housing starts and permits in July, the unexpected decline in new home sales suggests the housing market could be cooling.

A separate report from the Mortgage Bankers Association on Wednesday showed applications for loans to buy a house decreased last week.

The PHLX index of housing stocks (HGX) fell 0.42 percent, in line with an broadly weaker stock market. Shares in the nation's largest homebuilder, D.R. Horton (N:DHI), declined 0.56 percent and Lennar Corp (N:LEN) slipped 0.54 percent. Pultegroup (N:PHM) stock fell 0.59 percent.

The housing market is being hampered by a shortage of properties, which is driving up home prices. The new housing market has not capitalized on the acute shortage because of supply constraints facing builders, including labor, land and finance.

Housing weighed on the economy in the second quarter, subtracting nearly three-tenths of a percentage point from gross domestic product. Economists expect a modest rebound in housing activity in the third quarter.

The housing market remains underpinned by a strong labor market, which is near full employment. Last month, 70 percent of the new single family homes sold were either yet to be built or under construction in July. New home sales fell in the Northeast, South and West. They rose in the Midwest.

The inventory of new homes on the market rose 1.5 percent to 276,000 units last month, the highest level since June 2009. Still, new housing stock is less than half of what it was at its zenith during the housing bubble.

At July's sales pace it would take 5.8 months to clear the supply of houses on the market, up from 5.2 months in June.



A six-month supply is viewed as a healthy balance between supply and demand. The median price of a new home increased 6.3 percent in July from a year ago to $313,700.
