Year-one itemized cost ($700K home)

Line itemAnnualMonthly
Del Webb / Aspen Lodge HOA$1,920$160
Somersett master association dues (est.)~$1,200~$100
Property tax (formula: $700K × 35% × $3.66/$100)$8,967$747
Homeowners insurance (foothill wildfire)~$2,600~$217
All-in (excl. mortgage/utilities)~$14,687~$1,224

Somersett master dues are an estimate — confirm the exact figure for the specific home; it's the cost listings tend to omit. Excludes mortgage, utilities (note the real winter heating load at elevation), and maintenance.

This is a new-construction / full-taxable-value model. If you buy a resale Sierra Canyon home, the depreciated taxable value lowers the tax line. If you buy new, expect the ~$8,900 figure and remember to file the owner-occupancy form at closing or you default to the 8% cap, not 3%.

10-year property tax projection (3% cap)

Once you've filed for the primary-residence cap, your tax bill can rise at most 3% per year from your year-one baseline:

YearProperty taxYearProperty tax
1$8,9676$10,395
2$9,2367$10,707
3$9,5138$11,028
4$9,7989$11,359
5$10,09210$11,700
The cap is the quiet win. Over a decade the 3% ceiling holds your tax growth well below what a market-value reassessment would do in a rising-price metro. It's the single biggest reason long-term Nevada ownership stays affordable — and the reason the previous owner's bill (capped for years) looks nothing like your fresh-reset year-one number.

What's not in the table

  • Income tax: $0. The offsetting good news — if you're coming from California or Oregon, your income-tax savings can exceed this entire all-in carrying cost. See the Nevada tax guide.
  • Utilities lean toward heating at this elevation, not just summer cooling.
  • Insurance is the variable to watch — foothill wildfire scoring can move this line materially. Get a real quote on the specific parcel.
