No mayor, two layers of government
Incline Village and Crystal Bay sit in Washoe County, Nevada. They are not a city. There is no mayor. Washoe County handles roads, police and permits. IVGID handles water, sewer, trash, beaches and recreation. Five elected trustees run IVGID. We cover every meeting at IVGID meetings.
Housing
Prices here have climbed a lot. The median sale in 2016 was $629,000. In 2025 it was $1.4 million. That is more than double in 9 years. Sales fell from 464 in 2016 to 333 in 2025. Fewer homes change hands, and the ones that do cost more. See the full housing report.
Taxes and fees
Nevada has no state income tax. Washoe County sets property tax. IVGID adds a yearly recreation and beach fee of $1,530 for most parcels in 2026-27. That fee buys picture passes and punch cards. See IVGID explained.
Schools and the library
Incline Village has an elementary, a middle and a high school in the Washoe County School District. The Incline Village Library is at 845 Alder Ave.
Safety and the sheriff
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office polices the town from a substation at 625 Mt Rose Highway. Call 911 in an emergency. The non-emergency number is (775) 785-9276. We do not publish a crime rate yet, because we have not built one from county records.
Who lives here and what they earn
The 2020 Census counted 9,462 people in the Incline Village census area. A survey estimate for 2020 to 2024 puts the median household income at $167,069. The survey puts the median value of a home people own and live in at $1,454,600. These are survey estimates, so treat them as a range, not an exact count. Crystal Bay is counted as its own place.
Winter
Snow falls from November to April. The Mt Rose snow gauge peaked at 27 inches of water in the snowpack in winter 2026. The winter before, it peaked at 37 inches. Mt Rose Highway gets chain controls first. Keep chains in the car. Watch the weather page on storm days. If the power goes out, see outages.
Getting around
The TART bus runs along the north shore. The nearest big stores are in Reno, over Mt Rose Highway.
Summer
The lake surface peaks in the upper 60s°F to low 70s°F. Water at the Incline shore hit 67.9°F on Aug 2, 2026. The beaches fill up fast. See the beach guide and Sand Harbor.
