Reno (Sparks, Fernley, Fallon: 2014, apartments, condo)

Nevada factors depreciation into property taxes.

In addition, each county has its own rate, though most are fairly similar.

Newer homes are quite a property tax hit as opposed to older homes.

My home is probably marketable in the $800 thousands and my property tax is around $2800/year, it’s an older home with extensive remodeling and some revaluation.

If you look at homes for sale on Realtor.com you can find the property taxes paid each year unless it’s a new build.

Commercial property can be taxed at 8% but they usually tax it at 4-5%. Overall, Nevada and California tax on residences ends up being very close to the same.

I like Dayton better than Fernley, but then I also like Spanish Springs, Sparks, Reno and Carson City better than Fernley.

I am leaning more towards Dayton as it's close to Carson. (for amenities such as shopping, doctor and dentist, chiropractor services).
If one goes to Fernley then Reno is closer for the above amenities.
I will see once I go up there to compare the two towns and the two cities.

I would end up comparing which town has the newest homes at the most reasonable prices & property taxes:
Fernley vs. Dayton.

Yes I have looked on Realtor.com and notice that on new homes those taxes are high.
I am also looking at the new homes at Pocatello, Idaho and those property taxes are super high to me
$400 per month

The Dayton homes and Fernley homes are smaller in size around 1,200 sq. ft to 1,600 Sq. ft. with property taxes that appear reasonable if I am reading them correctly in Nevada.

Pocatello has larger homes as I have seen and newer but they have higher property taxes.

I'm pretty sure that houses in Fernley are cheaper but it's not my favorite place in Northern Nevada. It's probably better now, but when my son lived in Fernley it seemed like every day he was driving to Reno because the stores in Fernley didn't have what he was looking for. Dayton is windier, I guess because it's all flat and there's nothing to break the wind but I like that it's closer to Carson. Anyway happy hunting!

Thanks for that property tax info by County.

Actually I prefer whichever place is cooler year round Fernley Vs. Dayton
I look at Nevada as being one big desert But I cannot afford to live near the ocean/beach
But the traffic and crowds here have got real real bad here as well as the cost of living

As someone already mentioned the age of the property is factored into the taxes. 2 years ago we sold a home for 400k that was built in 1950 and the property taxes were 700/year. I have lived in 5 states and this is really cheap.

I know the traffic in Sacramento to Roseville/Placerville has got to be worse since 2010.

Yes it gets hot in Sacramento, I'm pretty sure I didn't say otherwise, did I? We have some 100-degree days here while a hot summer day in Northern Nevada would more likely be in the 90s. I don't have a problem with heat but cold bothers me tremendously because I have a condition called Raynauds. We moved to Sacramento when my husband retired to be near our kids and grandkids.

I used to stay and visit my father in Rio Linda. He had no air cond. It was real hot in the summer and real cold in the winter. But I loved the 5 acres of land he had and neighbors about a 1/2 mile to 1/4 mile away
Had some great privacy and seculsion there.

It sure beats city living and suburban life where homes are all so close together with kids running up and down the streets as well as teens racing their cars and motorcycles up and down the street.

I've never found Sacramento to be 'really cold' it seldom freezes, we have ferns in our yard that wouldn't still be there if it got really cold. It is nice to be able to get a piece of land like your dad did, that's getting harder to do every year. We looked at newer homes in several areas and most had almost no yard at all, I'm talking 10' from your back door to your rear fence.
