If you're shopping for a luxury home in a tax-friendly state, Incline Village should be at the top of your list. Nestled on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, this small community offers more than scenic views and world-class recreation. It’s also one of the most attractive places in the country when it comes to state taxes—and that’s a game changer for buyers looking to protect and grow their wealth.
As a seasoned Incline Village realtor, I work with clients every day who are relocating from high-tax states like California, New York, and Illinois. And when they realize how much they can save just by living here, the decision to buy becomes pretty clear.
Let’s start with the biggest win: Nevada has zero state income tax.
That means no tax on:
Wages
Capital gains
Retirement income
Business income
Rental property income
If you’re a high-income earner, entrepreneur, or retiree, that can translate to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual savings. And the longer you live here, the more those savings stack up.
For many of my clients, the tax savings alone offset a large portion of the cost of their home within a few years.
Nevada also does not levy estate or inheritance taxes, making it a strategic base for long-term estate planning. If you’re looking to pass on wealth to the next generation, this can be a major advantage over states that tax estates at death.
While Nevada doesn’t have the lowest property taxes in the U.S., Washoe County’s rate is relatively low, especially considering the high value of homes in Incline Village. You get luxury living, breathtaking views, and excellent services—without getting slammed by sky-high property tax bills.
Nevada is also a business-friendly state. If you run your own company or work remotely, basing yourself in Incline Village can simplify your business structure and reduce your overall tax burden. I work closely with buyers who are moving their LLCs or corporations here for exactly that reason.
There’s a reason Incline Village homes for sale are in such high demand. You’re not just buying a home—you’re making a strategic investment in a low-tax, high-quality-of-life location.
As an Incline Village real estate agent with Compass, I specialize in helping buyers make smart, informed decisions based on their financial and lifestyle goals. Whether you’re looking for a luxury lakefront estate or a mountain-modern getaway, I’ll help you find the right property—and the right deal.
If you're thinking about making a move to Nevada, now’s the time. Inventory in Incline Village is limited, and interest from out-of-state buyers is growing fast.
