Homes: Getaways, Short and Long-Term Rentals
With access to beautiful beaches, award winning golf courses and spectacular
skiing conditions, Lake Tahoe makes the most magnificent getaway for
every season. Regardless of market condition, Lake Tahoe ‘s
properties have continued to appreciate and Nevada’s liberal
tax structure continues to draw residents from surrounding regions.
Both of these factors make the market a perfect place to own a second
home as a personal getaway or rental.
Owning a vacation or long-term rental could be a viable alternative
for those looking to generate rental income while investing in the
Lake Tahoe real estate market. And since every Tahoe season is vacation
season, drawing visitors from around the world, the right property
could insure a high rate of occupancy year round.
Nevada’s Friendly Tax Structure
Nevada holds the record as having one of the most liberal
state tax structures in the world—ranked by Money Magazine as third out of the top 10 "tax havens" in the United States.
Nevada has no state income tax, no corporate income or franchise tax,
no estate tax and no gift or inventory tax.
It has become such an appealing place to do business that the number
of corporations choosing to move their headquarters to Nevada from
surrounding states has risen significantly in recent years.
In Nevada, residents are able to enjoy an ultra low real estate tax
that is approximately .032134 times the assessed valuation.

A Word about Lake Tahoe's Best Management Practices
Lake Tahoe is one of the three clearest lakes of its size in the world. The purity of Lake Tahoe and its tributary streams are what help make the Tahoe Basin so unique. The Lake's unusual water quality contributes to the scenic beauty of the Region, yet it depends today upon a fragile balance among soils, vegetation and man. The focus of water quality enhancement and protection in the Basin is to minimize man-made disturbance of the watershed and to reduce or eliminate the addition of pollutants that result from development.
It is a major goal of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to reduce the amount of sediment and algae producing nutrients that get into Lake Tahoe. To achieve that goal the TRPA has established a set of Best Management Practices required of all property owners in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Property owners are required to put BMPs in place by protecting native vegetation from unnecessary damage and restoring disturbed soils on their property.
