Tax Appeal & IRS Valuation Appraisals
When a Clark County assessment overstates what a home is worth, an independent appraisal is the strongest evidence a property owner can bring. The Residential Eye prepares appraisals for County Board of Equalization appeals and for IRS-facing matters that CPAs handle — estate, gift, and basis documentation.
- Independent evidence of market value for Clark County Board of Equalization petitions
- Petitions are due on or before January 15 each year — appraisals should be ordered ahead of the deadline
- IRS-facing valuations for CPAs: estate (Form 706), gift (Form 709), and step-up in basis
Clark County assessment appeals
Nevada taxes are based on the assessor's taxable value, which is a mass-appraisal estimate — it can miss condition issues, functional problems, or a market that has moved. A taxpayer who disagrees may petition the County Board of Equalization on or before January 15 (or the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday); hearings run January through February. An independent appraisal with verified comparable sales gives the Board specific, property-level evidence the assessment roll cannot.
For CPAs and tax professionals
Valuations are prepared consistent with IRS qualified-appraisal requirements, with the effective date, intended use, and intended users your filing requires.
- Casualty loss valuations
- Gift tax appraisals (Form 709)
- Step-up in basis documentation
- Estate tax appraisals (Form 706)
- Retrospective valuations to any required effective date
How to order
Send the property address, the purpose (county appeal or IRS filing), and any deadline. You'll receive a written fee quote and delivery estimate within one hour during business hours. For January Board of Equalization deadlines, ordering in November or December is strongly recommended.
Common questions
- When is the deadline to appeal a Clark County property assessment?
- Petitions to the Clark County Board of Equalization are due on or before January 15 of the fiscal year, or the next business day if January 15 falls on a weekend or legal holiday. Hearings begin in January and conclude by the end of February — so order the appraisal well before the deadline.
- What's the difference between taxable value and market value?
- The assessor's taxable value is a mass-appraisal figure produced for the entire county roll. An appraisal is a property-specific opinion of market value based on inspection and verified comparable sales. When the two diverge, the appraisal is the evidence that shows why.
- Do you also handle IRS-related valuations?
- Yes — estate (Form 706), gift (Form 709), step-up in basis, and casualty loss valuations, developed to the effective date the filing requires and prepared consistent with IRS qualified-appraisal requirements.
