What is LGS-F058?
Form LGS-F058, the County Board of Equalization Agent Authorization Form, is the Washoe County form on which a property owner authorizes an agent to file a petition with the Washoe County Board of Equalization and to represent the petitioner in related hearings.
By signing Part F, the person granting authority allows the named agent to contest the value and/or exemption set for the properties listed in Part D. The agent may also receive all notices and decision letters and may represent the petitioner in related hearings and matters, including stipulations and withdrawals before the Washoe County Board of Equalization.
The authorization is limited. The form states that it covers only the appeal of property valuation for the tax roll and fiscal year named in Part E. Part E offers the 2027-2028 Secured Roll, the 2026-2027 Unsecured Roll and the 2026-2027 Supplemental Roll, plus a line for other years being appealed.
The form has six parts (A to F) and a verification made under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Nevada, citing NRS 361.334. It is a two-page document, printed as LGS-F058, version V2026.1. It authorizes an agent only: the form itself does not set out the petition or the evidence for the appeal. The form lists (775) 328-2277 for questions about the form or the appeal process.
Who needs to file LGS-F058?
The main users are owners of taxable property in Washoe County who want an agent to handle an appeal before the Washoe County Board of Equalization on their behalf. The form is completed by the person granting authority, called the Petitioner, and by each agent.
The groups the form recognizes in Part C as granting authority are:
- the property owner (Self);
- a trustee of a trust;
- an employee or an officer of the property owner or of a company;
- a co-owner, partner or managing member;
- an employee or officer of a management company;
- an employee, officer or owner of a lessee of a leasehold, possessory interest or beneficial interest in real property;
- others, who describe their relationship on the form.
Natural persons may skip Part B. Owners that are not natural persons check the organization type that best describes them: sole proprietorship, trust, corporation, limited liability company (LLC), general or limited partnership, government or governmental agency, or other. They also give the state of formation and say whether the organization is a non-profit.
The verification states that the signer either owns or controls the taxable property (or is its lessee or user) under NRS 361.334, or is employed by the owner or an affiliate and acts within the scope of that employment. The signer must also have authority to appoint each agent named.
When to file LGS-F058
Complete Form LGS-F058 when you decide to have an agent file a petition with the Washoe County Board of Equalization for a property. The form is tied to one roll and fiscal year: Part E asks you to choose the 2027-2028 Secured Roll, the 2026-2027 Unsecured Roll or the 2026-2027 Supplemental Roll, and the authorization is limited to the roll and fiscal year you name.
If you are appealing other years, list them on the line for other years being appealed. The form tells you to be prepared to cite the legal authority, if any, that permits the County Board to consider appeals of taxable value from prior years.
No separate due date is printed on the form. For filing deadlines for the appeal itself, call the number printed on the form, (775) 328-2277, which the form gives for questions about the form or the appeal process.
Documents you need
- Multiple parcel list on letter-size paper: attach it when the authorization covers more than one parcel, and check the matching box in Part D.
- Separate sheet listing additional authorized agents, if you name more agents than the form has room for. Include each agent's printed name, contact information, signature, title and date.

Common mistakes to avoid

- Omitting the agent's signature on the acceptance of appointment; each named agent must accept.
- Entering an owner name different from the one on the tax roll in Part A, which asks for the name as it appears on the tax roll.
- Skipping Part E or choosing the wrong roll: the authorization covers only the tax roll and fiscal year named there.
- Listing other years in Part E without being ready to cite the legal authority that permits the County Board to consider appeals from prior years.
- Attaching a multiple parcel list on paper that is not letter-size, or forgetting to check the box in Part D.
- Naming extra agents without a separate sheet that carries printed name, contact information, signature, title and date.
- Entering a property number that does not come from the assessment notice or tax bill in Part D.
