IVGID 101 Posted on April 18, 2023 by AdminJune 1, 2024

Many residents mistakenly believe that the District’s financial transactions and reporting are “top notch” because year-after-year we receive “clean audits.” However, by abdicating to our staff (the very people being audited), its responsibility to provide independent “assurance” that the District’s … Continue reading →

Assuming Arguendo The District’s Recreation (“RFF”) and Beach (“BFF”) Facility “Fees” Are Actually “Fees,” Have They Been Transformed Into Invalid “Taxes” Because The District Provides For Exemptions From Payment to Itself as Well as Its Favored Collaborators?

IVGID 101 Posted on April 17, 2023 by AdminMarch 21, 2026

No it doesn’t! The District’s Exemptions From Paying The RFF/BFF Are Not Allowed Under NRS 318: We expect the District will continue to exempt favored collaborators, including itself, from paying the RFF/BFF notwithstanding nowhere in NRS 318 is it allowed. … Continue reading →

IVGID 101 Posted on July 5, 2022 by AdminSeptember 24, 2022

This topic is about the giveaway of the public’s facilities, programming and other assets to a staff determined favored third party “collaborator” at local parcel owners’ expense. And here it just so happens to be the Recreation Center, and the … Continue reading →

Is The District’s Defensible Space Fee a Permissible Fee, or Just Another Impermissible Tax?

IVGID 101 Posted on April 30, 2021 by AdminMarch 21, 2026

Introduction: Many Incline Village/Crystal Bay parcel owners are under the impression all of their neighbors’ parcels are being assessed the same BFFs and/or RFFs as their parcels are being assessed. After all, if you believe the District’s representations that its … Continue reading →

Assuming Arguendo it is Permissible to Collect Beach (“BFF”) and/or Recreation (“RFF”) Facility Fees Against Dwelling Units vs. Parcels of Real Property, Why Isn’t Every Incline Village/Crystal Bay Dwelling Unit Assessed a BFF and/or RFF?

IVGID 101 Posted on April 29, 2021 by AdminJuly 31, 2021

Introduction: As discussed elsewhere, and not that we agree it is appropriate for the District to separately assess and collect multiple RFFs/BFFs against multiple dwelling units, assuming arguendo it is, there are literally hundreds of multiple dwelling units on single … Continue reading →

Are IVGID’s Recreation (“RFF”) and Beach (“BFF”) Facility Fees Legitimate NRS 318.197(1) “Standby Service Charges…(Really) For The Availability of (Recreation) Services?

IVGID 101 Posted on April 15, 2021 by AdminSeptember 3, 2023
