How do I know if my rental property will qualify for the low or high tax cap?

A rental property may qualify for the Low Tax Cap if the maximum amount of monthly rent collected between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019 is at or below the fair market rent amount as determined for Churchill County pursuant to NRS 361.4724. In order for our office to determine if your rental property qualifies for the Low Tax Cap our office needs to know how many bedrooms are in this residence, the maximum amount of monthly rent charged to your tenant(s) between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019 and whether the rent amount paid by your tenant(s) included the heat and electric. The State of Nevada Department of Taxation publishes the maximum rental limits each year and can be found on their website. If the amount of rent your tenant pays exceeds the fair market rent published, the property does not qualify for the Low Tax Cap and you do not need to file this claim form.
