4. When must I pay taxes on my manufactured home and when do they become delinquent?: Personal property taxes on manufactured homes are due each year by the third Monday in August. On those that qualify for quarterly installments (See above), payments are due on the third Monday in August and the first Mondays in October, January and March. Nevada law requires that once any installment becomes delinquent, penalties are accrued at 10%. Delinquent status also initiates tax collection procedures.

5. Must I go in person to pay my tax bill?: No. You may mail in your tax payment, or you may drop your tax payment off at the tax payment drop box, which is located at the Churchill County Clerk/Treasurer’s Office, 155 North Taylor Street, Suite 110.

6. What happens if I have the installment option and wish to sell my home before the next tax payment?: The tax is the obligation of the owner who was originally assessed as of the lien date of July 1st. Transfer of ownership on a manufactured home cannot be processed until all taxes are paid in full and the Assessor's endorsement is placed on the face of the title verifying the payment.

7. What happens is I buy a manufactured home on which the taxes are not paid?: Property taxes are a lien on the property. If the above happens, you would in effect be purchasing a tax lien along with the manufactured home. To ensure this does not happen to you, you should make sure that the Assessor's endorsement is on the title before you purchase the manufactured home, or call our office, (775) 423-6584, to verify if taxes are paid in full. The law allows 30 days for the purchaser to report the manufactured home sale to the County Assessor.

8. Should I wait for a tax bill?: No. If you have not received a tax bill and the due date is approaching, you should contact the Assessor's Office so that penalties can be avoided. Our phone number is (775) 423-6584.
