The R-C Morning Report

Happy Valentine's Day. This morning Douglas County's Board of Equalization is holding hearings in the Historic Minden Courthouse, 1616 Eighth St. The board is where people who appealed their real property tax valuation before Jan. 15 can come and plead their case. Under Nevada law, the equalization board only considers matters relating to the value of your property, not hardships in making the tax payment.
