PROPERTY TAX BILLS MAILED

he amount of taxes payable annually on a property is the result of the assessment process and the total mil levies for the taxing authorities that provide public services. The County Assessor establishes the value of all property for tax purposes.

The taxing authorities use the assessed value to determine their levies. The Property Tax Statement is mailed around the middle of July each year, to the assessed owner, as their name and mailing address are listed on the Tax Roll as of July 1^st. The Tax Roll is prepared and maintained by the County Assessor.

If you bought property in the last part of the fiscal year, the former owner may receive the statement. The County Assessor requires time to process your recorded deed. Please contact the Clerk/Treasurer's Office if you have not received a property tax statement by August 1st.

NAME OR ADDRESS CHANGE

The Churchill County Assessor must be notified of the change in mailing address for each property you own. A change of address must be made in writing and requires an owner's signature. A form is printed on each of your payment stubs for this purpose. You can change your address online by completing a Change of Address form.

For the Assessor to change a name on the Tax Roll, proper legal documents must be completed and recorded at the Churchill County Recorders' Office. A name change could be due to a transfer of ownership of the property, or death or marriage.

Property Taxes that are due run from July 1^st to June 30^th for each fiscal year. Payments are due beginning in August per NRS 361.483, and may be paid in four equal installments with the stubs provided or in semi-annual payments combining the 1st and 2nd stubs and then the 3rd and 4th stubs or in one full installment on the 3rd Monday in August.

* There is a 10 day grace period. Payment must be received within 10 days of the due date. Payments bearing U.S. postmarks reflective of these dates are acceptable.

** When the tax amount is one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less, the installment option does not apply, therefore a single payment must be received by the third Monday in August.
