What is eDec Instructions Spanish – Washoe County, NV?
The eDec Instructions Spanish (Instrucciones de Declaración de Propiedad Personal del Condado de Washoe) are the Washoe County Assessor's Spanish-language instructions for the business personal property declaration that Nevada law requires, filed online through the Assessor's secure website.
The instructions tell you which property to report and how. You report personal property that belongs directly to the business, plus property that is leased, donated or gifted, as of July 1, 2025. Each asset needs a specific description so the Assessor can identify it. For new items you give the year acquired, a description and the cost. Cost is the original purchase price, including transportation, installation, setup and additions or renovations to the item. It does not include sales tax or the cost of maintenance and repairs.
The instructions also cover specialized equipment installed on registered vehicles, fully depreciated assets, leased equipment and the lease type codes. Serial numbers are optional.
If you do not submit a complete list of assets, the Assessor estimates the taxable value of your property, and you are responsible for paying taxes based on that estimate. This page is about the Spanish version of the instructions.
Who needs to file eDec Instructions Spanish – Washoe County, NV?
Businesses in Washoe County that own, lease or hold personal property must file the declaration these instructions describe, because Nevada law requires it. The instructions say this applies even if you have no assets or have closed your business: you must still file an online declaration stating that.
Lessors have their own rule: if you are the lessor, you report the name or names of each lessee and the location of each asset, and you must file the asset declaration online. Paper filings are not permitted.
Lessees (those who rent, lease or borrow equipment) report the name and address of the lessor entity and the actual cost of the equipment when the lease was made, meaning what it originally cost the lessor.
You do not need to report these items:
- items acquired after July 1, 2025;
- registered vehicles (but specialized equipment installed on them is reported);
- inventory held only for resale;
- raw materials used to make a finished product;
- intangibles;
- supplies consumed within twelve months.
When to file eDec Instructions Spanish – Washoe County, NV
Nevada law requires the personal property declaration to be filed no later than July 31, 2025, or within 15 days after the Assessor's demand. The property to report is what you owned, leased, were donated or were gifted as of July 1, 2025; items acquired after that date are not reported.
Filing is required even if you have no assets or have closed your business. If you do not submit a complete list of assets, the Assessor estimates the taxable value of your property and you owe taxes based on that estimate. The instructions give no separate processing time.
Documents you need
